  2. Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire and demi glace.
  3. Add the Madeira wine, lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
  4. Finish by tasting and adjusting seasonings with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Since buffalo is leaner than beef, you don't want to over cook it. Be careful not to cook them much past medium-rare.
