Sauce Chasseur, sometimes referred to as “hunter’s sauce,” is typically made using demi glas or brown sauce as a base and often includes mushrooms, shallots, and a white wine reduction. The name is derived from the French word for hunter, alluding to the traditional pairings with venison, rabbit and other game meats. In this video, Chef Mike provides an online cooking lesson for making a perfect chasseur sauce. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
