Note

For a richer flavor, substitute beef broth for half of the water.

If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the mixture briefly after cooking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed to adjust consistency.

This sauce also pairs well with pork chops or roasted chicken.
