Mike's Meaty Mushrooms & Semi-Demi Glace
- 2 box 32 oz Beef Broth
- 2 tbsp Quality Merlot Or Cabernet Sauvignon Wine
- 3 medium Sun Dried Tomatoes
- 1/3 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1 White Mushrooms
- 1 Brown Mushrooms
- 1 Sorrel Mushrooms
- 1 Portabella Or Baby Mushrooms
- 1 Shitake Mushrooms
- 1 tbsp Fresh Minced Garlic
- 1 large Shallot fine sliced-about 1/4 cup
- Mushrooms I used tonight.
- Gently wash with water and pat them dry.
- Fire up your demi glace and place it on low to simmer for about 2+ hours until it reduces by about 3/4.
- Or, until it can coat the back of a spoon.
- No need to stir this.
- Just make certain it's always simmering.
- Add 3 Sun Dried Tomatoes to this glace after simmer starts and remove it 1 hour into simmer.
- Notice by the pan lines just how far this glace has reduced.
- This means ALL the flavor is in that pot as you read and mushrooms can't wait to absorb it.
- Reserve your sun dried tomatoes to chop and place in your mushrooms.
- Add fresh black pepper just before your sauce reduces and fully thickens.
- Skim any odd film off the top if there be any.
- Chop your garlic, shallots and mushrooms in quarters and add to a frying pan with 2 tbs Olive Oil, a tablespoon of butter and a nice splash of your demi glace.
- Fry mushrooms and additions in that for about 2 minutes with lid to steam.
- Add a few more fresh quartered mushrooms and simmer for 1 more minute.
- Again, add a few more fresh mushroom quarters and cook 1 minute longer.
- You're layering very soft textures at this point so don't forget to do this step!
- ;0)
- Pull mushrooms and plate.
- Pour all of your demi glace into your mushroom seasoned pan and bring it to a simmer.
- Add 1 tablespoon Corn Starch and a small splash of water to a small bowl and mix that very well.
- Add that corn starch thickener to your simmering demi glace and whisk quickly.
- It'll tighten up pretty fast.
- Check for any clumps and discard if any.
- Chances are, if you whisk this quick enough, you won't have any.
- Your glace won't be pretty at this point but she'll be delicious!
- When you can run a line thru your glace and see the bottom of your pan for a few seconds, she's done.
- Spoon drizzle demi glace over your mushrooms but don't over do it.
- While you haven't added any salt yourself, this reduction can be a little bit salty.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!
