Prize-Winning Beef Tenderloin Fondue (No Oil)

"Served to us at an elegant dinner party hosted by our friend, Anna Ivarsdottir, this amazing & easy-fix recipe won the 2nd place award for her in a cooking contest sponsored by Harvey’s Bristol Cream (bottled by Harvey’s of Bristol in Bristol, England since 1976). Per Wikipedia: “Contrary to popular belief, the term cream sherry does not reflect the use of any dairy ingredient. The popular story from the 1860s is that a visitor to the Harvey’s cellars was given a taste of a new blend of sherry. When compared to Bristol Milk, she said ‘If that be Milk, then this is Cream.’ & the new blend was named.” I must add “If this be 2nd place, then 1st place is beyond my imagination.” & my best advice is to resist any temptation to improve this recipe. I guarantee you will want to linger at the table & savor every bite. Have I gushed enough? *Enjoy* ! :-)"

directions

  • Using paper towel, pat the shaved meat slices to remove any excess moisture. Prepare 2 plates for the table by dividing the shaved meat & sliced onion rings. Put 1 plate at ea end of your table & place the fondue pot stand in the center of the table.
  • Heat the 1st 4 ingredients to a simmering boil on the stove-top & transfer the mixture to a 2-3 qt capacity fondue pot. Put the pot on its stand at the table & light the heat source.
  • Let the fun & pleasure commence as ea person uses their fondue forks to spear the onion rings + shaved meat & cook it to their desired doneness in the fondue pot.
  • NOTES: The meat will be fork-tender, have a decidedly Asian flavor from the soy sauce & is best served w/steamed white rice. As a side-dish, Anna served snap peas w/a light balsamic glaze & coarsely broken walnuts. The combo was excellent w/the tenderloin & rice.

  1. Very Good! Have made twice and will definately make again. Couldn't find anyone to slice tenderloin thin, so I just cut slices as thin as I could and bite size. Worked fine. DELICIOUS!
     
  2. This was AWESOME! My kids love fondue, but I always hated making it because the oil seemed so unhealthy. Since I discovered this recipe we've already made this it twice in the last month and will probably have it on a regular basis. Fun & DELISH!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
