What each ingredient does

Thick cut steak
Provides the meat juices that make up the broth once heated and pressed.

The step that matters

Heating the steak until juices start to flow. Heat draws juices out of the meat fibres. Too little heat yields little liquid, while overheating tightens the muscle and can dry the meat, leaving less juice to extract.
