Notes
When pan frying or oven cooking meats, especially steak, remember to leave them to rest after cooking. This allows all the succulent juices released during cooking, to be reabsorbed by the meat, making it more juicy and delicious when you eat it. Leave meat to rest for anything from 5 minutes to 40 minutes depending on the cut. For example, a steak should be rested for 5-10 minutes. Rib of beef would benefit from at least 30-40 mins. Cover with tin foil and leave to rest in a warm place. Then slice and serve.
