What each ingredient does

Lean beef
Provides the meat juices that are extracted as the main liquid of the dish.
Coarse sea salt
Seasons the beef and helps draw out its juices before extraction.

The step that matters

Warm the beef slightly on a grill. Gentle warming loosens the muscle fibres so more juice can be pressed out. Overheating would cook the meat and cause the juices to firm up and stay trapped in the fibres.
