I absolutely love beef fondue. I just had a fondue party a couple of weeks ago and these were a big hit. They have been used by my family for 30 years. Use beef sirloin or beef tenderloin for the meat and use peanut oil for the oil. Here are my tried and true ';dip'; recipes.





Plum Sauce:


1 cup plum jam


1/2 cup white vinegar





California Dip:


1 container sour cream


1 pouch Lipton onion soup mix








Pink Horseradish sauce:


1 cup California dip (recipe above)


1 cup canned tomato sauce


1 tbsp. horseradish (or more to taste)








Variation on California Dip:


1 cup California Dip (recipe above) 1 1 tbsp.horseradish


2 tbsp. milk





Sorry I don't have any wine-based broth recipes for you. You can also use chicken or pork tenderloin and they would both be great with these dips. My husband also likes to do mushrooms.





I hope you enjoy them.
