I found an estimate of 35 kJ to cook a steak, so at 50 kW theoretically 0.7 seconds. I'm not really equipped to test that but I think it wouldn't work out well in practice. I expect it'd just ablate the surface and not transfer as much energy as you want into the rest of the meat. If you could dial it down to 5 kW I'll bet it'd work.
