# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The sauce hits every note at once sweet, smoky, savory and coats everything in glossy perfection
  • It comes together faster than you can set the outdoor table, making weeknight dinners feel like an event
02 -
  • Crowding the griddle kills the sear, so cook in batches if your surface looks overloaded
  • Let the sauce reduce for 30 seconds after adding it to concentrate those bold flavors
03 -
  • Dice and parboil potatoes before adding them for an even heartier cowboy style twist
  • A few drops of liquid smoke in the sauce makes indoor cooking taste like outdoor grilling
