What each ingredient does

Beef steak
Provides the juice, which is pressed out of the gently heated meat.

The step that matters

Heat it through without browning.. High heat tightens meat proteins and squeezes out liquid, so the steak can lose the juice you want to press out. Gentle heat keeps the meat moist and tender enough to yield its juice, though it gives up the savory flavor browning would add.
