Best Fondue With Seared Steak Recipes

FONDUE WITH SEARED STEAK

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil. In batches, add beef in a single layer. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; tent with parchment-lined foil.
• Toss cheeses with cornstarch in a bowl until coated. Rub bottom and sides of a medium pot with garlic; discard garlic. Add wine and brandy; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cheese mixture in batches, waiting for cheeses to melt before adding more. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 10 minutes. Season with nutmeg.
• Transfer to a fondue pot set over a warmer. Serve with beef, apple, fennel, cornichons, and bread.

MEAT FONDUE

Steps:

• Prepare your sauces (see below) in advance, and put in little bowls around the fondue burner, along with the meat, bread and salad. Season the meat.
• When your guests are ready to eat, fill your fondue pan half-full of vegetable oil and heat on the hob until it's hot, but not smoking. You're aiming for around 190C, but if you haven't got a thermometer, throw in a cube of bread - when it takes about 30 secs to brown, it's ready.
• Put the fondue burner on the table carefully so that it's stable, then, following the manufacturer's instructions, light the flame and put the pan on top.
• Give each guest a fondue fork for dunking the meat in the hot oil. It should take 25-30 secs for rare, 30-35 secs for medium and 45-60 secs for well done. When the meat is cooked, dip it into the sauces, and pile it onto the bread. If you have some raw king prawns to cook in the fondue, they work really well too.
