rest at least 15 minutes while tented with foil. this a perfect time to prepare your ass for being crammed with steak

for a piece like your picrel it's just 2-4 minutes rest, you can call it 'waiting till it's cool enough to eat" if you don't like kitchen memes...

Yes.

Make two identical steaks and rest one and not the other, then taste test them and see if you notice a difference.

There is not an appreciable difference. It is like salting a steak. Do it for an hour before is good, do it for 24 hours and it's better but not enough to justify the extra time.

Choice of steak, preparation, cooking method/technique is far more impactful.

If you have the time and plan for it then sure, it certainly won't hurt, but don't feel like you need to keep anyone waiting just so the steak can taste marginally better, some people can never tell. Then again good steak is usually wasted on them anyway.

If you cut stake right away it will have much more blood juice running out. Everyone will notice watery steak and meat wont be as tender. Regarding the taste you are right but that's not a point of resting. Few minutes and put another plate on top so it doesnt get cold, it's such small thing to do for big improvement.

From the thumbnail, I thought this was another vile "high meat" thread, and those were maggots, and "resting your steak" was a euphemism for letting it rot for six months.

Its simple heat transfer

Fresh off the grill the protein is hotter on the outside than it is on the inside. The heat will seek equilibrium so the inside will continue to get hotter until it matches the decreasing temperature gradient on the outside. Once they match the protein is finished cooking.

The equilibrium temp point is the point you aim to hit. The final internal temp on the grill is actually lower than the final internal temp of the meat. If you cut into the meat too early the newly exposed surface area will immediately stop cooking (undercooked) while the rest of the uncut meat will continue to cook.

But if you're a shit cook it doesn't matter and you won't notice the difference.

The fact that you think resting is about flavor makes it clear that you know nothing about it.

>> No.16641612

If you toss the sliced steak in the jus that comes out they just reabsorb it. Also I cut the steak as I eat it so it has plenty of time to rest while I eat.

I think it cooks a little bit from the inside if you let it "rest". Pan is usually too hot for that and just gets dry. But otherwise it's probably bullshit.

yes but nothing retarded like 15 to 20 minutes. 5 minutes on it's own, 10 max with a foil tent.
I've heard some ridiculous shit like "resting a roast as long as you cooked it for", like fuck if you roasted a whole turkey you'd rest it 5 hours? Fucking hell. The only need 20.

also bringing the meat to room temp before cooking is not necessary if you leave it in the oven as it comes to temp

yep roughly the same time as it cooks for
