• 2 Tbl butter or ghee
• 2 Tbl minced shallots
• 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
• 3 Tbl of white vermouth
• 2 Tbl of brandy
• ½ cup of demi glace* You can find this in the chilled section of higher-end grocery stores, or you can buy on line. At some stores it might be in the freezer section too. Look for it in plastic tubs.

*demi-glace [DEHM-ee glahs]

A rich brown sauce that begins with a basic espagnole sauce, which is combined with beef stock and madeira or sherry and slowly cooked until it’s reduced by half to a thick glaze that coats a spoon. This intense flavor is used as a base for many other sauces.

Instructions:

Melt butter. Add the shallots. Cook until loosened. Add the mushrooms. Cook on medium until they begin to brown around the edges. Carefully add the vermouth and brandy.

If adding liquor makes you nervous take the pan off of the flame and then add it. Then put it back on the stove. Always be careful when cooking with liquor.

Add the demi glace and seasonings. Cook on medium high until slightly reduced.

Serve with steak. This would also be great with lamb, pork or chicken.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
