GRILLED PETITE FILETS WITH MULLED-WINE DEMI-GLACE
Serves 4 to 6
Demi-glace, a classic French brown sauce, is traditionally made with beef stock and simmered for days until it’s reduced to a thick, velvety consistency. While shortcuts exist, including substituting gravy, Lambert’s recommends using store-bought demi-glace to save yourself time, which is so essential during the holidays.
