BEEF AND BEER FONDUE
I got this recipe from my mother. We always have it at parties. The fondue is a thick, rich, tomato-type fondue. There is no cheese in it and it doesn't need it. The meatballs soak up some of the sauce to make it super yummy! It's always a hit for us, so I thought I'd share.

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. CORRECTION NOTICEPlease be informed that in the July issue of BBC Good Food Magazine, it incorrectly stated that the temperature of the oil in this recipe should be 375C, the correct temperature of the oil should be 375 Fahrenheit or 190C.

FONDUE BOURGUIGNONNE
Steps:
- Heat oil in a fondue pot or 2-quart saucepan until very hot (375 degrees). While oil is heating, cut beef and chicken, toss with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Combine pork with garlic, shallots, egg yolk and mustard and form into tiny meat balls. Decoratively arrange meats, meatballs and potatoes on a large platter, or on 4 individual plates. Arrange sauces in individual dipping bowls or plates. Place fondue pot of oil in center of table over a small candle or sterno, and adjust flame so that it bubbles but does not sputter when meat is added. Spear meat, meatball or potato on long forks, place in pot and cook 20 to 30 seconds until crispy. Remove meat from fork before eating -- fork will be burning hot. You can use wooden skewers instead of long forks for cooking, if you wish.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: A tender cut of beef is essential for a successful fondue. Look for cuts that are well-marbled, such as ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a cheese fondue, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A classic choice is Gruyère, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Emmental, Jarlsberg, or Fontina.
- Don't overheat the oil: The oil in a fondue should be hot enough to cook the beef, but not so hot that it burns. The ideal temperature for a fondue is between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the beef in small pieces: This will help to ensure that the beef cooks evenly and doesn't overcook.
- Don't overcrowd the fondue pot: If you overcrowd the fondue pot, the beef will not cook evenly and may end up being tough.
- Serve with a variety of dipping sauces: Dipping sauces can add a lot of flavor to a fondue. Some popular choices include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Fondue is a delicious and fun dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to entertain guests, and it's also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious fondue at home.
