Menu Ideas: Warm Dishes for Cold Days
Demi Glace Braised Short Ribs
You might already use our Demi Glace for a sauce, gravy or even a soup base, but have you tried braising with it? We love to braise short ribs in this ready-to-use liquid for bold, consistent flavor. For this recipe, we add a third of the weight in water to the Demi, to keep plate costs down and to have enough liquid for a long braise time. Get the recipe here.
