BEEF CUBE MARINADE
2 tablespoons vinegar 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 garlic clove, minced 2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup soy sauce ¾ cup vegetable oil
2-3 pounds cubed sirloin steak 3½ cups vegetable oil for Fondue Pot
1. In small bowl combine vinegar, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce and ¾
cup oil. Blend well.
2. Pour marinade over beef cubes in large container. Stir to coat beef cubes.

lettuce or parsley lined platter. Blot meat dry again, just before cooking.
4. Pour oil into Fondue Pot and place Pot on counter or table where it will be used.
Place fork ring securely on Pot, if included. Heat oil at 375ºF/191ºC setting until
signal light goes out, about 10 to 12 minutes.
5. For serving, spear one cube of beef onto each fondue fork and gently place into
hot oil. Rest forks in fork ring slots, if included, or on edge of Pot while cooking.
Do not use more than 8 fondue forks at one time. Cook until meat is brown and
cooked to desired doneness, about 30 seconds for rare, 45 seconds for medium
and 60 seconds for well done.

meat. Serve with desired sauce. Repeat fondue procedure.
7. After meat is cooked, turn Fondue Pot OFF, unplug cord from electrical outlet
