Should I Rest Meat After Cooking?
Pre-Cook Resting
We recommend taking your meat out of the fridge 20-40 minutes before cooking to bring the temperature of the meat up. Bringing the temperature up produces a more consistent cook through the meat, a lovely crust on the outside, and a perfectly cooked center. A cold chop will cause the muscle fibers to tense when it hits the hot pan, so planning for a pre-cook resting period allows for a juicier, more tender chop.
Post-Cook Resting
Steak should rest for 5 to 7 minutes before you cut into and serve it. This process allows the juices to Doing this provides a very different eating experience. When you rest meat, you trap the flavor inside and allow the juices to redistribute, preventing excess purging and the chop from tasting dry or overcooked. You can even save a loin chop or steak that accidentally gets a little overcooked by letting it rest and maintaining the juice contents.
