Notes

• You can use beef or vegetable stock or a combination of the two. See what tastes best for you.

• marinating your meat the night before in the seasonings and sauce will improve the taste but it isn't necessary.

• I recommend buttermilk biscuits to serve on the side, but cheesy garlic Texas toast works well too.

• Enjoy!... Or don't... Let me know which in the comments.
