Why do chefs pour the butter, garlic, and thyme from the pan over a steak while it's resting?
It's not just for looks!
After cooking, a steak needs time to rest so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat. While it's resting, we spoon over the rich butter infused with garlic and fresh thyme from the pan.
Here's why:
✨ Extra flavour – The butter carries all those delicious aromas from the herbs, garlic, and caramelised steak juices.
✨ Moisture boost – As the steak rests, the warm butter helps keep the surface succulent and glossy.
✨ Better finish – The butter creates that beautiful restaurant-quality shine and enhances every bite.
✨ No flavour wasted – All those incredible flavours left in the pan deserve a place on the plate!
At Oh My Nosh! Catering Services, it's the little details like this that turn a great steak into an unforgettable one. ❤️
