What each ingredient does

Steak
Provides the juice itself; brief broiling heats the meat so juice can be pressed out easily.

The step that matters

Squeeze out the juice. Cutting the steak in several places opens the muscle fibres so the juice releases more easily. Serving immediately matters because the juice cools and loses its warmth quickly.
