Not resting the steak before slicing and serving

It's time to remove that gorgeous, browned, shining steak from the pan because your diligence has paid off. Even though it might be all you can do to hold back, exercise restraint. In order to make the steak as soft and juicy as possible, it is crucial to let it rest after cooking. According to Serious Eats, when a steak rests, the muscular fibers that had tightened during the cooking process loosen up, allowing them to hold onto more liquid.


The publication conducted tests and discovered that, when compared to a steak cut into immediately after it comes out of the pan, a steak that has rested for just five minutes boasts a world of difference in terms of juiciness. Better yet, if you can hold out for ten. Naturally, throughout that period of resting, the steak is also continuing to cook, so you must modify the amount of time you cook it. According to Certified Angus Beef, the temperature of the steak will rise by around 5 degrees as it rests, so it's crucial to cut it when it's just a little underdone for the best outcome.
