What each ingredient does

Rump steak
Provides the meat whose juices become the drink, carrying most of its flavour and body.

The step that matters

Grilling the meat rapidly over a clear fire. A hot, fast sear cooks the outside and sets the surface while the interior stays juicy, so more juice can be pressed out. Overcooking tightens the muscle fibres and squeezes out less liquid.
