Best Restaurant Style Demi-Glace EVER

After you’ve made yourself a big ol’ pot of Bone Broth (recipe at the bottom), save it in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.

To make the best demi-glace you’ve ever had, simply take 2 cups of this bone broth (no salt added) and reduce it down over a high heat in a sauce pan.

Reducing is basically restaurantese for “boil the freaking tar out of something until you have less.”

Demi-glace over oven roasted steak

You’re going to get the broth boiling and then wet a basting brush (or BBQ brush) with the broth and incorporate the residue from the sides back into the boiling broth. Do this until you have about 3/4 cup of broth.

It should be pretty thick. Taste and add a little kosher salt to taste. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter and pour over your Herb Butter Steak. Major yum!

What’s the difference between a bone broth and a stock?

Today in class at Escoffier Online, Chef Sophia Forde talked about the differences between a stock and a broth. It’s easy to remember the difference, just remember Broth is made of BONES andMEAT;Stock is made withSimplybones.

When trying to remember little (but crucial) details, alliterations are definitely my favorite little trick. In the culinary world, broths and stocks each serve a unique purpose.

Stocks come out beautifully clear and are wonderful for making soups and stews. Broths are usually more cloudy because of the meat, but extremely flavorful, and make excellent bases for sauces.

When a broth is stored in the refrigerator, it will congeal due to the high collagen levels. Bone broth makes sauces rich, smooth and velvety.

Beef Bone Broth has a Powerhouse Resume

Check out the broth’s benefits:

  1. Treats leaky gut syndrome
  2. Improves joint issues
  3. Helps with food intolerances
  4. Reduces cellulite
  5. Boosts the immune system

Can we go back to #4, please?In a double blind, placebo-controlled studyit was found that women who took 2.5-5 grams of collagen hydrolysate every day for 8 weeks had noticeable improvements in overall skin texture, moisture, and elasticity. Excuse me while I go start another batch of broth…

Even though it simmers for hours, it’s ridiculously easy to make and one of the most nutritious things you can do for your body. Plus, it’s loaded with healing compounds like collagen, glutamine, glycine, and proline.

A squeeze of lemon brightens up and adds a little ZIP to your bone broth!

Initially, I really liked bone broth because it tastes great then I heard of it’s healing properties. That’s a total knock out combination right there!

Shop local shop organic

This is a great reason to befriend your local butcher. If you don’t have a local butcher, ask the folks in your grocer’s meat department to cut up some beef bones for you.

The last thing you want is a brontosaurus bone sticking out of your soup pot. They’ve got all the tools and they’ll be more than happy to do it for you.

Best Beef Bone Broth Recipe Make Ahead Tip:

Once you’ve made your broth, keep half on the stove to dip into and freeze the other half in ice cube trays or muffin tins. When freezing in muffin tins, line the tin with plastic wrap so the broth “pucks” come out easier.

Bone broth ready for freezer.

If I know I’m going to use a larger amount later for soup, I’ll make a mold of my crock pot with a foil tin, line it with a slow cooker bag, fill that with broth and then freeze it.

Freezing it like this makes it handy to use the broth when you want to drink it or use it in a recipe. That way you know you’re cooking with wholesome goodness and not artificial weirdness.
