Not Letting Meat Rest After Cooking
Allowing the meat to rest after cooking is crucial for achieving a juicy and tender result. When meat is cooked, the heat causes the juices to move toward the center, which makes it taste dry. Allowing it to rest for a few minutes before cutting into it will enable the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
A good rule of thumb is to let the meat rest for at least five minutes for every pound cooked. During this time, it’s best to cover it with foil to keep it warm. Also, resting time allows the meat to continue cooking, so removing it from the heat just before it’s fully cooked is essential.
