In this situation, the pilot has to lower the nose to break the stall, level the wings, apply power (potentially generating a big nose up moment), and aggressively trim nose down to put the stab back where it should have been in the first place. And this for pretty much any airliner I have flown.
What about this "not and anti-stall device" thing, implying the MCAS is supposed to activate
before a stall AOA is reached ?
