What each ingredient does

Best rump steak
Supplies the meat whose juices are extracted, giving the drink its flavour and protein.
Cold water
Draws soluble juices out of the minced meat during soaking, adding moisture to the extract.

The step that matters

Express the juice through muslin by twisting it. Twisting firmly squeezes out the liquid from the soaked meat. Too gentle a squeeze leaves much of the juice behind, while the soaked fibres release the most liquid when pressed.
