Always allow red meats to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour before grilling to ensure even cooking.
When you cook meat that came directly from the refrigerator you risk drying out the exterior before the interior is fully cooked. When the meat has been resting at room temperature for 30 minutes, the meat is one temperature and cooks more evenly to ensure extra moisture.
