Cook Time

Beef Type
   Sirloin


Ingredients

  • 1 lb. beef tenderloin or sirloin
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz. each) beef broth
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh green onions (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped shiitake or Portobello mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

Trim all fat from beef and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place cubes of beef on platter and refrigerate while broth is heating.

Over stovetop in saucepan, heat broth to a boil and transfer to fondue pot. (If you have an electric fondue pot, heat broth directly in pot or as instructed in manufacturer's instructions.) Keep broth at a simmer in the fondue pot.

Spear one cube of beef with a meat fork and place in hot broth. (Avoid over-crowding pot or the temperature will drop and meat will not cook properly.)

Cook until beef is brown and reaches desired doneness, approximately 3-5 minutes.

When cooked, remove forks from broth and trasfer meat cubes to plate. (It is recommended not to eat with cooking forks as the tines will be extremely hot.)

Serve with a variety of sauces.

Suggestions

Place fondue pot on cutting board or protective, heat resistant mat or tray to protect surface from splatters. Make certain pot is on level surface.
