Why cook it like that?

Your steak is done? Let it rest about half the cooking time, advises Jennifer Aaronson, food and entertaining editorial director for Martha Stewart Living: “If you cut a piece of meat you've taken right off the heat, all the juices are going to run right out of it.” The test: Cook two steaks; cut one and let one rest. The “rested” steak will be the juicy one.
