Red wine demi-glace is a traditional French sauce, full-bodied with beef stock, butter, shallots, tomato paste, and red wine reduced by more than half in volume, then simmered with all of this to make a hearty sauce you want to slurp. This is traditionally a sauce for beef, akin to Bordelaise, so we have paired it with a rare New York strip with steak fries and a wedge salad. Imagine having a great steakhouse dinner like that at home, in less than an hour. Or, create your own meal after you have tasted this. Once you have made this sauce, you will want to make it again.
