Let the steaks rest for at least 5-10 minutes after cooking while you are cooking the sauce. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is juicy and packed with flavor. During this time, you can cover the steak loosely with foil to keep it warm.
