Beef Fondue Recipe

This beef fondue recipe was my first experience with fondue. It’s delicious and easy to prepare.

Making this broth is time-consuming, so you will probably want to prepare the broth and your fondue dips before your guests arrive.

Fondue broth evaporates and gets absorbed into the meat, so you want to prepare enough to fill the equivalent of two pots for each fondue pot. This way, when the broth level drops, simply add some of the broth you have set aside and the fondue party goes on!
