My ribeye was tough because I skipped the rest time

Letting meat rest makes it tender.

Wait, resting is more about juiciness than tenderness.

Yeah @kareng20 is right about the juice, but that rest time totally helps with tenderness too, especially on a thick cut like a ribeye. Honestly just leave it alone for like 10 minutes next time.

Read somewhere that resting lets the muscle fibers relax after cooking, which does help with tenderness. It's not just about keeping the juice inside. That's why a good rest makes even a cheap steak way better.
