Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup demi-glace store bought or Cheater's Demi Glace From This Site
  • 1 ¼ cups red wine such as Beaujolais
  • 1 prig thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons shallot minced
  • 2 ounces marrow from about 1 pound beef bones
  • 1 15 ounce can beef broth low sodium
  • 1 black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan add the wine, thyme, bay leaf and shallots. Heat to boiling and reduce to simmer. Cook until the wine has reduced to about 1/3 cup.
  2. While the wine simmers, use the end of a small spoon to push the marrow out of the bones and transfer to a small saucepan. Add the beef broth to the marrow and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan tightly with a lid and turn off the heat. Poach the marrow in the liquid until it becomes gray - just a few minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the marrow and transfer to a cutting board. Mince the marrow and set aside.
  3. When the wine has reduced, add the demi-glace and a grind of fresh pepper. Simmer on a medium low heat for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer set over a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Stir in the diced bone marrow. Serve with steaks or roasts.

Notes

  • You can add sautéed mushrooms to the sauce -- saute until browned, making sure there's no excess liquid and stir into the sauce at the last minute.
