How long to let roast beef rest before cutting?

You should let roast beef rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Here's why resting is so important:

* Juicy meat: When you cook meat, the internal pressure builds up. Resting allows the pressure to equalize, and the juices to redistribute back into the meat instead of spilling out when you cut it.

* More tender: Resting allows the muscle fibers to relax, which makes the meat more tender.

* Even cooking: Resting ensures that the internal temperature of the meat reaches a safe level throughout.

Tip: Cover the roast loosely with foil to prevent it from drying out while it rests.
