1 can Campbell's beef broth (bouillon)
1/2 finely chopped carrot
1/2 sm. onion
1/2 stalk celery
Black pepper

Do not add salt until you have tasted finished sauce.

Place all ingredients in a small pan. Boil very rapidly to 1/4 original volume or 2-3 tablespoons. Pan fry steaks or chicken breasts in butter. Spoon sauce over meat. This really perks up a meal.
