Beef Juice
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the steak
Remove the fat from the steak and wipe it with a damp cloth.
Place the steak in a broiler and heat for 2 to 3 minutes to start the flow of juices without searing the meat.
Lay the steak on a plate and cut across several times.
Extract and serve
Place the steak in a meat press and slowly extract the juice using a lemon squeezer or potato ricer.
Chill the juice, season with salt, and serve in a cup or colored glass.

What each ingredient does
- Upper round or rump steak
- Provides the meat whose juices are extracted, giving the drink its beefy flavor and color.
- Coarse sea salt
- Seasons the finished juice, bringing out its savory flavor.
The step that matters
Heating the steak briefly under the broiler. Heat for only 2 to 3 minutes loosens the juices so they flow, while keeping the surface from searing. Searing would firm the meat and change the flavor of the juice.
