Stopped resting my steaks last year. Best decision I ever made.

Gordon Ramsay would have a fit. All those juices just run right off the cutting board instead of getting reabsorbed. It's a simple step that makes a real difference.

But how much flavor are we actually losing by skipping that step?

Wait, you actually don't let your steak rest at all? It sounds like a recipe for dry meat. All those juices just pour out onto the plate as soon as you cut into it. I tried skipping the rest once and my ribeye was a total mess, with a cold middle and all the flavor left in a pool. Letting it sit for just five minutes makes a huge difference in how tender and juicy it stays.
