Tips
- • For the most intense flavor, use high-quality beef broth and let the sauce simmer slowly to develop depth • Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure no clumping of powdered spices • Use a heat-safe container with a wide mouth for easy basting • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days • For extra richness, consider adding a tablespoon of butter during the simmering process • Warm the sauce slightly before basting to help it adhere better to meats • Experiment with adding a pinch of brown sugar or hot sauce for personalized flavor variations
