I think where I should start with French sauces is the beginning, the basis of% 75% of all French sauces. This basis of which I speak values is not just any beef Which team. Taking values is relatively simple and easy to do, especially if you are not going to be doing small amounts. You only need about # 5-10, which will be about 2 quarts beef broth. And about 1 / 2 liter of final broth sauce and salsa to keep both the freezer well.

Start by rinsing your bones very well, then put in a pan with cold water and bring to boil. When it comes to boil the bones move and alter slightly to let the foam and bad things float to the surface and skim constantly. The escape from the pot and fill with water Cold shelved, but not for activate new bone rinse with cold water and dry well. Coat of bones in the oil and place on a grill instead of roasting in the oven to 375. Broil until brown, but not record or cause the stock bitter. After the roast out of the oil leak and add the bones of water and light the flame, bring to a boil, boiling heat slow. Meanwhile, drain the roasting pan and add oil 1 large onion, 1 carrot, peeled and chopped celery stalk all brutes. Turn the flame low and add the top little oil, scraping bottom of pan.

Cook the vegetables until golden, add 3 tablespoons tomato paste. Continue cooking, mix the tomato paste and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly, do not let burn. Add water to the pan, so sufficient to ensure that his will not to burn, and add while the pot with the bones. Simmer for 16-20 hours of this (slow cooker is perfect for this).

Add sprigs of thyme and parsley and 10 cloves of garlic. Halve the number. You have taken Spanish sauce 1 of the 5 mother sauces of classic French sauce making. Mix the strained sauce and veal stock reduced Spanish, now Demi-Glace. All work is worth at the end!
