After the steak is cooked to perfection, it is important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This crucial step allows the meat to relax and reabsorb its juices, ensuring that each bite is flavorful and tender. If you cut into a steak immediately after cooking, you risk losing all those precious juices, resulting in a dry, tough steak.Resting a steak is simple: just remove it from the heat source and let it sit for a few minutes. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the steak, with larger cuts requiring a longer resting period. A good rule of thumb is to let the steak rest for as long as you cooked it, so if you cooked it for 4 minutes on each side, let it rest for 4 minutes before slicing into it.
