A Great Sauce to Serve with Pork Tenderloin Medallions Walking past the meat aisles at one of our local supermarkets this weekend, I noticed they were having a 2 for 1 sale on pork tenderloins.

What is Demi Glace? I am a huge fan of demi-glace for preparing classic sauces like mushroom or peppercorn sauce but I have to warn you, it is a huge process to make classic demi glace at home. It is not for the faint of heart but well worth the effort – at least once. […]
