👉 Resting lets juices redistribute—so they stay in the steak, not on the plate.
Step 6: Slice & Serve
Slice against the grain (if there’s a visible grain).
Drizzle with the herb butter from the pan.
Serve immediately—with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or all by itself.
Bonus: Leftovers? Thinly slice and use in salads, sandwiches, or steak bowls.
