Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Beef broth (low sodium, fat-free)
- 4 cups Chicken broth (low sodium, fat-free)
- 1 medium (chopped) Onion
- 1 medium (chopped) Carrot
- 1 medium stalk (chopped) Celery
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat 2 cups of water over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Pour in the beef broth and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Add the bay leaf, fresh thyme, and black peppercorns.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 90 minutes. Stir occasionally and skim off any foam or impurities from the surface if needed.
Remove the pot from heat and strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a separate container, discarding the solids.
Return the strained liquid to the pot and bring it back to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the xanthan gum, ensuring it's fully incorporated without lumps.
Continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce has reduced by about half and thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Allow the demi-glace to cool slightly before serving or storing. Use it as a rich, flavorful base for sauces, soups, or main dishes.
