1. Prepare the Beef: Trim fat from the beef and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Keep refrigerated until 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat the Oil: Fill a fondue pot halfway with oil and butter. Heat to 350 - 375°F.

4. Accompany with Sauces: Serve with a variety of dipping sauces for flavor.
🛒 Choosing Ingredients
• Beef Cut: Opt for tender cuts like filet mignon, sirloin, or ribeye—lean and tender for quick cooking
• Oil: Use high smoke point oils such as grape seed, peanut, or canola oil. Avoid olive oil
• Sauces: Prep a variety like garlic aioli, mustard sauce, curry mayo, horseradish dip, or béarnaise
🔪 Preparation
• Cut beef into 1-inch cubes for even cooking
• Pat beef dry with paper towels before cooking to prevent oil splatter
• Marinate (optional): A light soy sauce, garlic, or herb marinade adds flavor, but don’t overdo it—marinated meat can splatter more
🔥 Cooking the Fondue
• Heat oil to 350–375°F (175–190°C)
• Use a thermometer to monitor oil temp—too low and meat gets greasy, too hot and it burns
• Don’t overcrowd the pot—2–3 pieces per person at a time
🍴 Safety & Serving
• Use fondue forks only for cooking, not eating—transfer cooked meat to your plate
• Provide extra forks for eating
• Have a heat-safe trivet and flame diffuser for tabletop fondue pots
• Serve with small boiled potatoes, crusty bread, grilled veggies, or side salads
🧊 Storage & Leftovers
• Store raw and cooked meat separately in the fridge
• Leftover cooked beef can be used in salads, wraps, or sandwiches the next day
