Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Beef tenderloin
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Dry red wine
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 1 tsp Black peppercorns
- 1 variety Optional dipping sauces (horseradish cream, garlic aioli, mustard sauce, etc.)
Instructions
1. Start by trimming any excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin. Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep cold while preparing the broth.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine beef broth, dry red wine, minced garlic, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, bay leaf, and black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer for 10-15 minutes to marry the flavors. Remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprigs before transferring the broth to a fondue pot.
4. Set up your fondue pot at the dining table and heat the broth to a simmer. Use the appropriate heat settings for your fondue equipment to maintain a gentle simmer throughout the meal.
5. Arrange the raw beef cubes on a platter and bring them to the table along with fondue forks or skewers for each guest.
6. Provide a selection of dipping sauces in small bowls, allowing guests to customize their beef bites with their favorite flavors.
7. To cook the beef, each guest can spear a beef cube with a fondue fork and submerge it into the simmering broth, cooking it to their preferred doneness (approximately 1-3 minutes, depending on the size of the cubes and the desired level of doneness).
8. Once done, remove the beef from the broth, let it cool for a few seconds, and enjoy with the dipping sauces of your choice.
9. Continue cooking and eating until all the beef is gone. Dispose of or repurpose the flavorful broth as desired (it can be a great base for soups or stews).
