How do you remove parts of a string between angle brackets "<" or ">" using PHP?

//Using Parentheses
$myString = "The (quick brown) fox jumped over the (lazy) dog.";
echo "<p>" . $myString . "</p>";
$newString = preg_replace("/\([^)]*\) ?/", "", $myString);
echo "<p>" . $newString . "</p>";
//OUTPUT: The fox jumped over the dog.
 
//This is what I tried for the angle brackets
$myString = "The <strong>quick brown</strong> fox jumped over the <span style=\"color: red;\">lazy</span> dog.";
echo "<p>" . $myString . "</p>";
$newString = preg_replace("/<[^)]*> ?/", "", $myString);
echo "<p>" . $newString . "</p>";
//OUTPUT: The dog.
//DESIRED OUTPUT: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
