Notes
Better than Bouillon beef base is sold at grocery stores and Costco and stored in refrigerator after opening. If this brand is not available, I recommend using Beef Consomme in cans (sold near canned soup) to equal 24 oz. Beef granules or beef bouillon cubes may also be used.
Use dark balsamic, not white balsamic for this recipe.
