    The problem with canned stocks is that they tend to be fairly high in sodium. As you reduce the sauce in this recipe, that sodium will concentrate and become stronger. So, try to get low-sodium broth, or make your own. It's worth saving scraps or getting bones and making stocks periodically to keep in the freezer. I'm not familiar enough with this site to know if there are any recipes for stocks or broth here, but if not, I'll try and post some.

    I tried this plate, but the sauce is very strong.!!!! I believe, it's better to mix just one can of chicken broth and one can of beef.
