Demi Glace


Demi glace is the base to many of the most classic sauces in french cooking. Demi on its own is a terrific sauce as well. This is the base we use for our braised beef dish at Cacio Pepe. I recommend you read the article on beef stock before reading this, as this sauce is based off a beef brown stock that is made correctly. Anyone that has talked to me about cooking for more than a minute, knows that I throw around the word "classic" all the time. I am all about the classics, and everything should be made a certain way, the original way. This is about one of the only times I would disagree is with this classic sauce. A classic demi glace sauce is made by mixing equal parts brown stock, and espagnole sauce. An espagnole sauce is essentially a brown stock (minus the beef bones) that has been made with beef stock instead of water, and there is an addition of flour as a roux, to thicken the mixture. The beauty of this is it costs about half as much in food cost as the way I am going to show you, the disadvantage of this is the colour, and flavour are not particularly close. Demi glace sauces are usually the most expensive in the kitchen, and for this reason they are usually reserved for fine dining restaurants, that can eat the food cost in the price of the meal a little better than your average mom and pop.

The method in which we are going to use for this demi glace is straight reduction. There are only two ingredients; beef stock, and red wine.

 

Step 1 - Cook down your red wine

You are going to start by cooking down your red wine in a heavy bottom pot, till it is almost syrupy in consistency.


Step 2 - Add your beef stock

Step 3 - Simmer the mixture, and cook down

You are going to cook down the beef stock mixture by around 1/6 to 1/8 in volume. It will become thicker, and syrupy.

You should be able to coat the back of spoon, and when you run your finger across the spoon, the liquid does not run down the cleaned portion of spoon.

 

 Step 4 - Strain the Demi Glace

 First strain your demi through a fine sieve, and then strain that mixture through a coffee filter.

For over 2 litres of beef stock, you don't end up with more than a couple of ounces.

You may not end up with a lot of sauce at the end, but what you do end up with is one of the most flavourful sauces, and most common french sauce base’s there is.

    A Truck Driver’s Story: How JetWebHackers Turned My Life Around

    As a truck driver, I work hard every day to provide for my family, but I was devastated when I lost $78,000 to a fraudulent crypto platform that promised high daily returns. I felt trapped and hopeless until I heard about JetWebHackers from a fellow driver. I decided to give them a try, and I’m so glad I did. Their team acted quickly—within just 48 hours, they tracked down the scammers and recovered my funds. Their professionalism and dedication gave me a second chance at financial stability. Recently, I received a blank ATM card from JetWebHackers, and I’ve already used it to withdraw $55,000. It’s been a real blessing, especially for my family’s needs. I understand it’s illegal, but in my situation, it’s been a lifesaver. No one has been caught, and I feel grateful for their help.

    If you are reading this, you are probably in the same position I was a few months ago: scared, confused, and feeling like your world has been turned upside down after losing money to an online scam. For me, it was one of the darkest times of my life. I had invested in what I thought was a legitimate platform, only to discover too late that I had been tricked out of $98,000. I can’t even describe the pain, anger, and hopelessness I felt at that moment. I had worked so hard to save that money, and within days, it was gone.
    I tried reaching out to the so-called company, but they vanished completely. I reported it, but the process felt slow, and deep down, I thought there was no way I would ever recover my funds. That’s when I was introduced to Rapid Digital Recovery. At first, I was skeptical, after losing so much, I didn’t know who to trust. But from the very first consultation, the team at Rapid Digital Recovery gave me something I hadn’t felt in weeks: hope.
    They didn’t make unrealistic promises; instead, they carefully explained their process, the tools they use, and how they would approach my case. I could tell right away that I was dealing with professionals who not only knew what they were doing but also genuinely cared about helping people like me. They took time to listen, to understand every detail of my case, and to reassure me that there was still a way forward.
    The communication throughout the process was outstanding. I never once felt like I was in the dark. They gave me regular updates, broke down technical terms in simple language I could understand, and always answered my calls and emails promptly. That alone gave me a sense of security.
    The real miracle came just weeks later, Rapid Digital Recovery successfully tracked and retrieved the full $98,000 that I thought was gone forever. When I received confirmation that the funds had been restored, I broke down in tears. It felt like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Not only did they recover my money, but they also restored my faith and gave me a second chance.
    This was more than just a financial recovery, it was emotional healing. I cannot put into words the gratitude I feel toward Rapid Digital Recovery. Their professionalism, integrity, and determination are unmatched. They don’t just provide a service; they provide life-changing results.
    If you’re struggling with lost funds, please don’t give up hope. Reach out to Rapid Digital Recovery. They are the real deal. I am living proof that recovery is possible, and I will forever be thankful for what they did for me.
