Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup demi glace
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat until hot.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. As soon as the butter melts and starts to foam, add the onions.
    Be careful not to let the butter burn. Cook the onions until they become translucent.
  • Remove the pan from the stove and carefully add the wine to the pan. Return the pan to the stove and reduce until most of the wine is cooked off.
  • Add the demi glace along with a little salt and pepper, stir and reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the mustard and finish by adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the sauce and stir. This is called mounting.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve with your favorite pork dishes or beef and chicken recipes.
