Demi-Glace Sauce
- Mix sauce and beef stock; heat to boil. Reduce heat to low
simmer, and pull halfway off burner. Let reduce by half, removing
skin from top each half hour or so. Finish to taste with wine,
salt, white pepper.
- Note: As espagnole is composed of double strength beef
stock a demi-glace is therefore about 2.5x strength. The flavor
should be rich, deep and intense. A canned beef broth is not a
good idea for demi-glace, as the "tin" taste will only intensify
during the reductions involved.
