What each ingredient does
- Rump steak
- Supplies the meat juice itself, which is the whole product of this recipe.
- Cold water
- Draws juices out of the minced meat during soaking, helping extraction.
The step that matters
Twist the mixture through muslin to express the juice. Squeezing too hard or too early can push fine meat particles through the cloth, leaving the juice cloudy. Gentle, firm twisting after soaking releases clear liquid while keeping solids back.
