    Chef Arnoldi,
    I want to try this recipe but where pray tell do I buy demi-glace (I have never seen it anywhere that I shop) or how can I make my own.
    I think that is is something like broth but different some how.
    Please help educate me
    thank you ever so much

    Chef Arnoldi,[p]The demi-glace I get is a concentrated item. 3 tbsp makes 2 cups of stock. Is the recipe above meant to be 1 cup of stock made from demi-glace, or is it actually calling for a cup of demi-glace itself. That seems like an awful lot...?[p]Tonia
    :~)

    I may have to try this tonite with some venison tenderloin, wrapped in bacon.[p]
