demiglaze

Definition # 524


A demi-glaze, or demi-glace, to use the French, is a combination of 1 part beef stock with 1 part brown sauce (with a bit of Madeira or sherry thrown in), and cooked until it is reduced by half. The result is very rich with concentrated flavor, and is used as a base for many other sauces.

The brown sauce, or Espagnole sauce, is made of a rich meat stock, a browned vegetable mirepoix (diced carrots, onions, celery, and herbs), a brown roux, herbs, and sometimes tomato paste.
