What each ingredient does
- Round steak
- Provides the meaty flavour and dissolves some protein and gelatin into the liquid, giving body to the broth.
The step that matters
Simmer on low heat. A gentle simmer draws flavour out of the meat while keeping the broth clear. Boiling hard during cooking churns fat and proteins into the liquid, making it cloudy and greasy.
