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.

    I FINALLY RECOVERED ALL MY LOST BITCOIN SUCCESSFULLY THROUGH META TECH RECOVERY PRO

    It all started with a simple error; I mistakenly made some settings on my phone, which affected my phone’s operational settings. No big deal, I thought. I’ve done this before. But this time was different. I noticed a change on my device; many apps weren’t working, mainly my crypto wallet—it held my crypto wallet, which contained $512,000 worth of Bitcoin. When I realized what I’d done, I froze, then panicked. No backups. No seed phrase written down. Nothing. I tried to stay calm, but every second that passed felt like a countdown to permanent loss. I spent hours online, reading recovery guides, downloading data recovery tools, and more. While scrolling through a late-night tech forum, I saw a thread about crypto investment and forex trading scam victims and how they managed to get restitution. Someone mentioned a crypto recovery specialist called META TECH RECOVERY PRO, known for handling complex wallet recoveries and also recovering funds lost to scams. I was skeptical, the internet is wide and wild, you never know who is on the other side of the screen, for me to just easily release my wallet information to.

    I reached out to META TECH RECOVERY PRO out of desperation because what do I have else to lose? I was never expecting a swift engagement; their response was quick and professional. Their confidence, reviews, and composure made me believe they are worthy of handling my task. They were transparent, knowledgeable, and honest. That was more than I’d gotten from any recovery software I have been downloading for weeks, and paying for passkeys. They laid out their working terms, which were straightforward, and their price was fair. It was a back-and-forth phase with META TECH RECOVERY PRO during the recovery of my lost Bitcoin Wallet. META TECH RECOVERY PRO was able to recover my Bitcoin wallet seed phrase. My wallet was safe. The funds were untouched, and that’s when I concluded that you can never find any reliable recovery professional on Google besides META TECH RECOVERY PRO. That experience taught me more than I ever wanted to know about digital security and about how fragile digital assets can be without proper backup. But it also reminded me that even in the worst situations, there’s still hope if you know where to look, and as for me, META TECH RECOVERY PRO was my ray of light.

    If you ever find yourself in that kind of nightmare, don’t forget to contact,
