What each ingredient does

Lean beef steak
Supplies the juice that is pressed out, so leanness and freshness matter for the final liquid.
Coarse sea salt
Seasons the finished juice at the end, adding flavor to the pressed liquid.

The step that matters

Heating the steak through without drying it. Broiling over coals must heat the meat fully, but overcooking pushes juices out and toughens the fibers, reducing the liquid you can press out.
