The success of these dish depends on the quality of the meat and the sauces.

Dieter’s hint
Place a slice of bread on a small side plate. When you take the meat out of the hot oil, place it onto the bread so that it absorbs the excess cooking oil. 

1. Trim any excess fat from the meat and cut into 2 cm (3/4") cubes; set aside on a plate in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
2. Place the oil in the fondue pot with the flavorings (optional).
3. Heat the oil on the stove then carefully transfer it to the warmer; the oil must be very hot but not smoking. Keep the temperature at 190° C (375° F) by adjusting the flame or electric control.
4. Using a long two-pronged fork, plunge a cube of beef into the oil - each bite should be golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The cooking time depends on whether you prefer the beef blue, medium-rare or well-done.
5. Always season with salt and pepper after cooking.
