Sauce Foyot

Sauce Foyot

Also called Sauce Valois when enriched with glazed meat, Foyot builds on Béarnaise by whisking in a rich demi‑glace (meat glaze), making it ideal for roasted beef or lamb.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Béarnaise sauce (see here)
  • 2 Tbsp warm demi‑glace or meat glaze
  • Optional: 1 tsp finely chopped chives

Method

  1. Warm base: Gently reheat Béarnaise off direct heat.
  2. Enrich: Whisk in demi‑glace until smooth and glossy.
  3. Garnish: Stir in chives if desired, then serve.

FAQs

  • Can I use pan drippings?
    Yes—reduce drippings with a splash of stock until syrupy in place of demi‑glace.
  • What’s the difference from Béarnaise?
    Foyot’s signature is the added meat glaze, boosting umami and sheen.

Substitutions
