Let\u2019s talk about meat fondue recipes and what you need to know first. Meat fondue also known as oil fondue is a method of cooking all kinds of meats, poultry, and seafood in a pot of heated oil.<\/p>\n
Each person participating in a fondue experience cooks his\/her meat by placing a small portion or chunk on the end of a long fondue fork and placing it inside the pot of oil to cook. When the meat has finished cooking in the oil, it\u2019s then placed on a small plate where you can then dip each piece of cooked meat into previously prepared sauces.<\/p>\n
Meat fondue recipes can also be prepared as a broth fondue, replacing the oil with your favourite broth \u2013 chicken, vegetable, or beef \u2013 to name a few.<\/p>\n
Below, I\u2019ve provided a pretty organized way of preparing and eating meat-fondue recipes. Hope you find this helpful!
\nFirst, it\u2019s great fun and an easy way to entertain a good group of friends or family. With fondue cooking, everything can be done ahead of time and your guests cook their food! How easy is that?<\/p>\n
Oil fondue is used for cooking meats such as beef, lamb, chicken, fish, and seafood. The great thing is, you can do oil fondue as either an appetizer or as a main entree.<\/p>\n
Second, you need a good and reliable cooking unit. With meat fondue recipes, the pot needs to keep the oil hot and is safe to use at your table. There is a wide range of fondue pots in a variety of styles.<\/p>\n
Some are complete sets including fondue condiment sets and special fondue plates and forks, as well as a burner, stand, metal pot, and a tray to protect the table and catch spatters.<\/p>\n
For other types, you\u2019ll need to buy each item separately. But that has its advantages in that you get to create your customized fondue set in the colours you want and the accessories that you want to use.<\/p>\n
Fondue pots are made specifically for a range of different purposes. Stainless steel, aluminium, copper and silver plate or sterling silver pots are generally used for oil and meat fondue recipes where enamel-coated cast iron or ceramic pots are used for cheese or chocolate fondues.<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s market, you can also find non-stick-coated fondue pots that make cleaning, not such a chore.<\/p>\n
With the wide variety of pots and cooking units also comes with a wide variety of price ranges \u2013 from very inexpensive to costly. The thing to look for, in my opinion, is the sturdiness in the construction of the pot.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for an all-purpose container that can be used for more than oil fondue, make sure the unit has the capability of being able to adjust the heat source.
\nFondue Bourguignonne is a traditional meat fondue recipe.<\/p>\n
The pan used for this is wider at the base and curves at the top. Why? Because it eliminates some of the spatterings that occur when raw meat hits the hot oil and the shape helps to hold the heat. Most bourguignonne pots are 1 1\/2 to 2-quart capacity.<\/p>\n
What if you don\u2019t have a fondue pot or don\u2019t want to spend the money on one? You can always improvise with any good heating unit that burns denatured alcohol, canned heat, or butane. The container for the oil could be any saucepan or chafing dish.<\/p>\n
It must be at least 3 1\/2 inches deep and not more than about 8 inches in diameter. If it has straight sides and possibly curves inward at the top, even better. Like the bourguignonne pan, it reduces splatters and keeps the heat.<\/p>\n
Some other items used with fondue pots:<\/p>\n
Fondue forks and plates are designed for cooking and serving meat fondue recipes and are available in a wide range of materials, sizes, shapes, colours, and of course, price ranges.
\nLong bamboo skewers can be used instead of forks. The disadvantage is, it\u2019s sometimes harder to keep the meat or bread on the skewer while it is cooking and the oil can be so hot that you risk getting too close to it and burning yourself.<\/p>\n
Fondue forks are long \u2013 at least 10 inches long \u2013 and have insulated tips for safety from burning when using oil or broth fondues. The tines on the forks should be generous in length and not made of flimsy materials.<\/p>\n
Many places that sell fondue pots and their accessories will provide a set of forks with different coloured handles for each. This works similarly to the little doo-dads we attach to wine glasses for identification purposes. There\u2019s also a fun fondue game you can play to get the party started.<\/p>\n
Fondue plates are special because they have little sections built into them in the form of small indentations for sauces and a larger section for the meat. They are convenient and nice to have, but not necessary. These plates are usually available in ceramic, china, pottery, plastic or metal.<\/p>\n
Fondue sauce bowls are often used and are particularly festive when the colours or designs of the bowls complement the rest of the fondue set. They are passed around with the different fondue sauces to each of the guests.<\/p>\n
Below is the recipe for Fondue Bourguignonne:<\/p>\n
What you\u2019ll need:
\n\u2013 3-pound piece boneless beef sirloin or tenderloin
\n\u2013 2 cups cooking oil (canola or other vegetable oil)<\/p>\n
OR<\/p>\n
\u2013 1 cup oil + 1 cup Clarified Butter
\n\u2013 Salt and Pepper to taste
\n\u2013 Dipping Sauces (check out all the wonderful dipping sauces you can make on my website. See info below.)<\/p>\n
Trim the fat from the meat and cut it into bite-size cubes. Keep refrigerated until about 20 minutes before serving. This recipe lends itself to doing everything in advance of your party, making it an easy recipe.<\/p>\n
