💡 Tips & Notes
- Texture is everything: Use a wooden spoon or potato masher during simmering to break down the beef into a smooth, saucy consistency.
- Make ahead: This sauce only gets better the next day. Cool completely and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Control the sweetness: Adjust brown sugar to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
