Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, pepper and salt and cook, stirring often, until the shallots are lightly caramelized, about 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the demi-glace and vinegar and cook for 3 minutes, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the cream and butter and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the parsley and serve immediately. The sauce is good with beef, veal or chicken.

Tip
  • Duck-and-veal demi-glace is available at specialty food stores, or call 1-800-DARTAGNON to order.
