1 tablespoon safflower oil
8 ounces young Gouda, rind trimmed, coarsely grated
8 ounces Gruyere, rind trimmed, coarsely grated
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic, halved

MEAT FONDUE



Meat fondue image

Revisit an 80s dinner party classic - the meat fondue. The assembly job can be done before your guests arrive. Make some sauces yourself and buy the rest

Provided by Emma Freud

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

800g beef tenderloin or 4 rump steaks, cut into 1-inch cubes
1l good vegetable oil
crusty white bread
green salad

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.

This is a Western steak oil fry. Absolutely delicious. And yes, pitchforks are used, small ones and large ones. It was started on dude ranches and then oudoor parties. I have made the recipe for 6.

Provided by Montana Heart Song

Categories     Meat

Time P1DT20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 rib eye steaks (Note, You can use rib eye or sirloin but they are smaller in size and will cook faster) or 6 porterhouse steaks (Note, You can use rib eye or sirloin but they are smaller in size and will cook faster)
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup strong black coffee
6 bay leaves
2 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons salt
5 gallons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Marinate the steaks in large ziplock bags, overnight if possible.
  • Note: Unfortunately the ingredient reader on this program will not let me put rib steak, it insists on putting rib eye.
  • Lay out the steaks on a tray.
  • Throw away the marinade.
  • Heat the oil in a tall stockpot over a propane burner. Does not take a long time.
  • Pierce the steak at one end and loop the steak twice on the pitchfork. Push the steak back on the fork.
  • Pierce and loop another one. Put 3 steaks on one fork.
  • Carefully lower the steaks into the hot oil. Fry 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve with baked beans and baked potatoes with butter and sour cream.
  • Note: Keep that pot and burner as low to the ground as you can. DO NOT LET GO OF THAT PITCHFORK, IT MIGHT TIP OVER THE HOT GREASE.
  • You can use the stock pot or dutch oven over hot coals also, but use a long fork instead of a pitchfork and cook 1 steak at a time.
  • Note: You can use buffalo steak, any steak with a bone is very tender close to the bone. You may also use pork. Chicken or fish is very difficult to pierce and stay on a fork.
  • Do not let children near the cooking!
