Beef Fondue is a simple leisurely meal that lets each dinner cook their own main course. Serve with a nice salad and bread plus plenty of tasty dips for a memorable meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed both beef and cheese fondue<\/a> several times a year growing up. It was often chosen as a birthday meal or other special occasion dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truthfully it is pretty easy to prepare and most of it can be done ahead of time. But, it is not a eat it fast and be on your way meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a trap the tweens and teens at the table (preferably without phones) and spend quality family time while you each cook our own meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to it with a salad or vegetables and some rolls or other goodies to munch on while the meat cooks to minimize the \"I'm starving\" comments (it was my brother, not me, I swear!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies Needed for Beef Fondue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have a beautiful copper fondue pot and set of fondue forks inherited from my parents. It uses sterno, and if I had to buy a new one I would get electric because my kid is still skittish about open flames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be able to find one at thrift stores or garage sales, or you can use an electric skillet and regular table forks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be warned, your skillet needs to have pretty deep sides to be high enough to cover the meat and not allow the liquid to spill over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fondue plates are fun, but optional, unless you have picky eaters that don't like their dips touching. In which case you may already have separated plates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few suggestions from Amazon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
