4. Simmer the Sauce<\/h4>\n
Add the beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10\u201315 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and deepens in color.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

5. Combine & Coat<\/h4>\n

<\/div>\n
