Quick Homemade Demi Glace will turn any cut of meat into a decadent steakhouse meal. Hence, Demi Glace is a thick and rich classic French Brown Sauce. A thick concentrated sauce is full of decadent and velvety flavor. In fact, it is the perfect pairing to red meat. Indeed, it is rare to see this sauce outside of a fancy restaurant. The flavor on top of any roast or steak will have your mouth oohing and aahing at every morsel. Needless to say, this delectable sauce will upgrade any meal.
Quick Homemade Demi Glace:
Moreover, classic Demi Glace takes a ton of time to create a rich flavor and texture. Consequently, the classic Deep Bown Sauce starts with creating a bone broth. I am sure purists will disagree with my quick method. Classically, this sauce begins by making a veal bone broth. The classic method can take days to create. Therefore, if you want the flavor but are lacking time use this rapid method.
Nevertheless, if you are lucky enough to be a hunter and have Elk’s bones. I highly recommend making Elk Bone broth. At any rate, if you have taken the time to make Elk bone broth I highly suggest using it in this recipe. Needless to say, using Elk bone broth would take this sauce over the top. In any case, it goes extremely well with Dry Rubbed Smoked Elk Tenderloin. This recipe is gluten-free.
