What is demi-glace sauce?
Demi-glace sauce is one of the basic sauces of Western cuisine that originated in France. This sauce has a brown color, almost black. “Demi” means “half” and “glace” means “ice.” It’s an interesting expression to use this word to describe “boiled sauce.”
A rich demi-glace sauce is created by boiling brown sauce (a combination of brown roux and fond de baud) for hours.
Demi-glace sauce takes a lot of time and effort to make in earnest.Therefore, many hayashi rice and beef stew recipes use canned demi-glace sauce.
In Japan, brown sauce and gravy sauce are also sometimes called demi-glace sauce.It’s easy to confuse the words used in Western cuisine. The meaning of each word is as follows.
- Brown roux: Flour stir-fried for a long time with equal amounts of oil and fat until it turns brown.
- Fond de veau: Fond refers to vegetable soup, and veau refers to veal. To make fond, it is common to use tomatoes and tomato paste in addition to aromatic vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery. Fond de veau is made by stewing stir-fried vegetables and roasted veal meat. If you can’t get veal meat, substitute beef shank, beef tendon, or beef bones.
- Bouillon: Similar to fond de veau, but while fond de veau is used for meat dishes such as steaks and hamburgers, bouillon is mainly used for soups.
- Gravy sauce: A sauce made by adding ketchup or red wine to the fat that comes out when grilling meat.
