 John Navratil (Texas) says:
Delicious and very popular. This was my first time to prepare this and I only had reduced fat beef broth, which I reduced from to 3/4 of original volume. This exacerbated the salt so I didn't add as much as the recipe called for. Not as deeply flavored as it might have been, but it was still very well received.

It will be done again with real stock. Bear in mind this is a sauce, not a engineering masterpiece.
