Finally. Been wondering for years why we don't have laser equipped Stryker platoons stood up

They’ve been working on anti-air lasers for years so this is a pretty landmark development in laser tech.

Time for your stood-up wondering to take a seat.

How long of a burst from the laser to sear a porterhouse steak?

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.
