What each ingredient does

Beefsteak
Provides the main protein, whose texture and juiciness depend on how it is cooked.

The step that matters

Cook the beefsteak to your desired doneness. Meat keeps cooking briefly after it leaves the heat, and internal temperature determines doneness and juiciness. Removing it a little before the target lets it finish gently, which helps prevent overcooking and dryness.
