A demiglace is simply beef or poultry stock that has been reduced down to a consistency where it can be spread with a knife. Try dipping pita or french bread in it and eating.


Actually, I believe you are thinking of a glace de viande, which is reducing a gallon of stock down to about 8 oz.

A true brown demi-glace contains beef stock and espangnole sauce (beef stock, tomato and roux), and is reduced by half. I don't remember exactly how it's done, but I'll look through my books and find the recipes.

Made me drag out Larousse but here goes

You start with espagnole sauce;a brown sauce made with brown stock to which a brown roux is added along with mirepoix (5oz pealed diced carrots, 4oz pealed diced onions,2 oz celery and 4oz raw ham or bacon cut into fine strips..heat 2 tbls. butter in saucepan and add ham and veggies with a sprig of thyme and half a bay leaf..cook gently for 20 min.)followed by tomato puree. Along with several hour of cooking stirring and straining. Add to the stock a estouffade(clear brown stock made from beef, wine, carrots, garlic, and small onions seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, and a bay leaf). Now you boil this mixture to about 2/3 then add Madeira wine and strain. Presto...Demiglaze

It just don't get more simpler than that

Yeah, what he said.

The recipe in my CIA cookbook is simpler than that, but I have no idea where it's at...
