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.

    Please read that I have heard of him on several health sites and blogs, but after watching the documentary Last Days of Left Eye, I was turned on to the full story about Dr. Guba. He is a man who has the Cure for Herpes virus, victims of major traumatic accidents, and critically ill patients with life threatening illness, through natural herbs, herbal cream, and healing oil. He never went to college or medical school but inherited the gift from his forefathers. I contacted Dr Guba Solution Temple, he sent me some herbs, cream, and healing oil, which I made use of for a period of three weeks to get my healing. 
Note: After the first one week of usage, I started noticing great changes all over my body. The healing oil remedy works so quickly and miraculously that I can confidently say that Dr. Guba SOLUTION TEMPLE is a dependable, reliable, and trustworthy herbal clinic. If you find yourself or someone else in a similar or worse situation, I highly recommend reaching out to you by sending him an email via: drgubahealingherbs@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2347077581439 or website: https://drgubahealingherbs.wixsite.com/guba-healing-herbs

    MY BITCOIN SCAM EXPERIENCE

    I lost about $34,000 to a fake cryptocurrency trading platform a few weeks back after I got lured into the trading platform with the intent of earning a 15% profit daily trading on the platform.

    A few months ago, I fell victim to a sophisticated crypto scam where I lost over $20,000. I was completely devastated and felt hopeless, thinking there was no way to get my money back. I came across someone recommending ExpressHacker99 and decided to take a chance. To my surprise, they were incredibly professional and responsive. Within a short time, they managed to recover a significant portion of my funds. If you’re in a similar situation, I genuinely suggest reaching out to them at expresshacker99@gmail.com. They helped me when I thought all hope was lost.
