Demi-glace, meaning "half-glaze", is a rich, flavorful sauce made from a concentrated stock, typically beef, and is a staple of French cuisine. A crucial element in many classic French dishes, it is known for its deep, complex flavor and is often used to enhance sauces, stews, and braises. Demi-glace is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from hearty meat dishes to elegant sauces for vegetables or fish. With its rich flavor profile, it adds depth and layers of taste to any dish it is added to.

DEMI-GLACE
This is my technique for veal demi-glace, and there's not much to it. I'm going for a pure veal stock reduction, fortified with nothing more than mirepoix and tomato. I don't do the classic roux-based espagnole sauce, which is traditionally mixed with veal stock and reduced by half.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place veal bones in a roasting pan.
- Roast bones in the preheated oven until well-browned, about 75 minutes.
- While bones are roasting, drizzle oil onto a baking sheet. Spread onion, carrots, and celery onto baking sheet; spread tomato paste over the vegetables and mix to coat.
- Roast vegetable mixture in the preheated oven until vegetables are well-browned, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer vegetable mixture and bones to a large stockpot. Pour 10 quarts water into stockpot.
- Pour 2 cups water into the bones roasting pan, set the pan over high heat, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour liquid into the stockpot with the bones.
- Bring bones, vegetables, and water in the stockpot to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, skimming foam as necessary, until meat and all connective tissue is completely off the bones, about 18 hours.
- Set a colander over a bowl and ladle vegetables, bones, and meat into colander. Discard vegetables, bones, and meat; return any broth to the stockpot.
- Bring broth to a boil; cook at a boil until liquid reduces to approximately 1 gallon in volume, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Strain broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large container set in an ice bath; chill to room temperature. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until demi-glace is cold and set, 8 hours to overnight.
- Scrape and discard any fat from the surface of set demi-glace. Turn demi-glace out onto a work surface. Cut into 16 blocks, wrap each block in plastic wrap, and place wrapped blocks in a resealable plastic bag. Store in the freezer.

CHEF JOHN'S CHEATER DEMI-GLACE
You can make a demi-glace using chicken wings and beef shanks since veal bones can be hard to come by. This alternative method works amazingly well and the demi-glace closely resembled the real thing in look, feel, and flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Oil a large roasting pan with vegetable oil. Place celery, onions, and carrots in the pan. Drizzle tomato paste over the vegetables; toss together. Arrange chicken wings and beef shanks on the vegetables.
- Bake in preheated oven 45 minutes. Turn chicken and beef pieces. Continue roasting until mixture is very well browned and even a bit charred here and there, another 30 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a large stock pot along with pan juices. Add 6 quarts cold fresh water, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring to a simmer over high heat; reduce heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer with small bubbles and very little movement. Simmer until meat is falling off the bone and flavor is extracted from the chicken and beef, 12 to 14 hours. Remove from heat.
- Strain out all solids. Return pot to heat and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce to about 2 quarts, or by 50 percent. Strain liquid though a strainer into a container; press down solids in strainer to extract all the liquid.
- Bring to room temperature before covering; refrigerate. When demi-glace has solidified, gently use a spatula to scrape off any fat that has collected at the top.

LAMB OSSO BUCCO WITH RUSTIC LAMB DEMI-GLACE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Season lamb osso bucco liberally with salt and pepper and set aside on a plate. In a heavy-bottomed roasting pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil on stove top. Carefully place the osso bucco in the hot roasting pan and sear all sides, until nicely browned. Once seared on all sides, remove from pan and set back onto plate. Using the same pot with the lamb drippings in the bottom, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Saute for approximately 10 minutes using a wooden spoon to scrape the lamb drippings off the bottom of the pan and to caramelize the vegetables. Once caramelized, add tomato paste, coat the vegetables with the paste, and brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the drippings off the bottom of pan using a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half and add the Lamb Stock and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place the seared osso bucco back into the pan. Change to high heat and once the stock starts to boil, put roasting pan into the oven. Cook the osso bucco for about 2 hours until it is fork tender, almost falling off the bone. You will want to turn the osso bucco every half hour so that it cooks evenly and does not burn on the bottom.
- When finished, take the lamb out of the sauce and set aside. In a blender, blend the sauce until the vegetables are pureed. Place about a 1/4 cup of sauce into the bottom of each serving bowl, top with osso bucco and drizzle with a little more sauce. It is best served with roasted carrots, onions, and potatoes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large roasting pan, roast lamb bones in the oven until dark brown. On a sheet tray, roast carrots, celery, and onion in the oven until browned as well. Place the bones and vegetables in a 4-gallon stock pot. Add 2 gallons cold water, salt and pepper, and bay leaves, if desired. Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 hours to get the best results.
- If using lamb base, roast vegetables as explained above. In a 4-gallon stock pot, add 2 gallons water and whisk in lamb base. Add the roasted vegetables and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 1 hour.

GRILLED HANGAR STEAK WITH ROASTED SHALLOT PORT DEMI GLACE RECIPE
Steps:
- First you will remove the silver skin and the fat from the Hanger steak. You will then add the olive oil, and the salt and pepper to the steak and let hang out covered in the fridge for about 15 minutes or so while you are prepping the roasted shallot sauce. You will take a small sauce pan and add the water, butter, sugar, shallots and bring to a boil. You will reduce the heat and let cook for about another 5-10 minutes. Take your steak from the refrigerator and pat it dry of most of the oil but not all. and add it to your grill. Cook it in a crossing pattern of 2 and 4 on a wall clock to give it the nice grill patterns. I would say depending on the thickness you will cook it about 3-4 minutes each side. You will want to serve this steak rare to a medium rare so it will be on the more delicate side for a tougher cut of meat. Once it is cooked you will remove it and let it rest for about 5 minutes to let the juices circulate back through the meat. while the meat is resting you will finish the shallot sauce. You will then remove the shallots form the sugar water and mince them up. You wil take a new sauce pan, or clean the one you just used and add the Port, the shallots and the demi over a medium to medium high heat and reduce by half. When it is reduced by half remove from the heat. You will begin to cut your steak cross the grain and into about 1/4 inch slices and plate. You will then add your roasted shallot sauce. This is an excellent meal served with a starch of some sort such as a baked or fried potato wedges. Enjoy!
CHEZ EDDY DEMI-GLACE - LOW CARB LOW FAT
This demi-glace contains no flour, starch or arrowroot for thickening or butter. It is thickened through the combined effect of long simmering and the natural gelatins contained in the bones. The best bones to use are veal knuckle bones but since it's hard to find, I use whatever beef bones I can find at the best price. Bones are first roasted for best color and taste. Once made this sauce can be frozen in portions for at least 6 months. Once you made the homemade version you will understand why homemade demi-glace is the king of all sauces.

Tips for Making Demi-Glace:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the demi-glace. Use grass-fed beef bones, organic vegetables, and a good quality red wine.
- Roast the bones before simmering: Roasting the bones adds a deep, rich flavor to the demi-glace. Be sure to roast the bones until they are well browned.
- Simmer the demi-glace for a long time: The longer you simmer the demi-glace, the more flavor it will develop. Simmer the demi-glace for at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours for a truly rich and flavorful sauce.
- Skim the fat regularly: As the demi-glace simmers, fat will rise to the top. Be sure to skim the fat regularly to prevent the demi-glace from becoming greasy.
- Strain the demi-glace: Once the demi-glace is finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
- Taste the demi-glace and adjust the seasoning: Once the demi-glace is strained, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
Conclusion:
Demi-glace is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great addition to beef, pork, and lamb dishes, and it can also be used to make soups, stews, and gravies. With a little time and effort, you can make a delicious demi-glace at home that will elevate your favorite dishes.
