Cook's tips

Let the meat rest a few minutes off the heat before cutting so the juices redistribute instead of running out onto the board.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Taste and adjust the seasoning right before serving -- salt levels vary a lot between brands of broth, sauce, and canned goods.
