What each ingredient does
- Steak
- Its juices are the main flavour and liquid of the jus once pressed out.
The step that matters
Heating the steak until juices start to flow. Heat must be high enough to draw juices out of the meat but not so long that they dry out and the meat toughens. Watching for the first flow of juice helps you stop at the right point.
