Bercy Sauce II
This version of the Bercy sauce, named after a district in the east of Paris, is a savory sauce for roasts and steaks. It's made by reducing white wine and chopped shallots and then simmering in a basic demi-glace.Note: There is another sauce called Bercy, but it is made from a basic fish velouté rather than a demi-glace, and thus is served with fish and seafood dishes. See the recipe for Bercy Sauce I.
