A delicious introduction to Espagnole, a Mother Sauce that's a little darker, deeper, and the foundation of classic steakhouse flavours.

Espagnole: The Mother Sauce Every Steak Deserves is the first in a series focused on the five Mother Sauces that serve as the traditional starting points for nearly all other sauces in classical French cooking.

Of these five sauces, it is Espagnole (pronounced just like the Spanish word español) that is a little darker, a little deeper, full of character, and a foundation of classic steakhouse flavours.

Join us inside L’OCA Labs for a live demonstration class where you’ll learn how Espagnole Sauce serves as the foundation for several classic steak sauces, including:

  • Sauce Bordelaise (red wine jus)
  • Green Peppercorn Sauce
  • Sauce Périgueux (mushroom and Madeira wine)

After a detailed mother sauce demonstration from Chef Fabricio Daros, it’s time to eat!

You’ll enjoy a tasting of each classic sauce served with a selected L'OCA Butchers' cut of AAA Alberta beef, alongside roasted potatoes, and sautéed vegetables.
