Extra Toppings: Don't Skip the Resting Time
Resting the steak after grilling isn't just a fancy suggestion. When meat cooks, its juices get pulled toward the surface. If you slice too soon, all that flavor spills out.
Letting your steak rest under foil for 5 to 10 minutes gives the juices time to redistribute. That means each bite stays juicy and tender, not dry and disappointing.
