Demi-Glace Substitute

Category: Sauces, Marinades, Spices, Glazes and Rubs

To create the equivalent of 1 cup demi-glace:

Simmer 2 cups beef broth and 1 tpsp. of butter in a pan until the broth is reduced by half. Dissolve 1 tsp. of arrowroot or cornstarch in cold water and add to the beef broth, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer until the mixture is thickened.

If the mixture is too thick, add sherry or balsamic vinegar 1/8 tsp. at a time, stirring after each addition until the sauce is the desired consistency.
