My fondue set is arriving today!

I'd like to do the beef in oil thing, but I need to find some good
dipping sauce recipes.  Anyone have any they'd like to share?

(I'm talking about the kind you dip the meat in *after* it's been
cooked in the fondue pot, not the kind where you dip pre-cooked stuff
into cheese or chocolate.)

Not a fondue sauce, but argentinian chimichurri is awesome with beef.

Chimichurri

1 cup olive oil
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or apple vinegar)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients and let sit for an hour.

Thanks!  It sounds yummy.  Do you have to eat it right away once it's
ready?

Anything tasty ... even the basics are fine.  The key word I envision
is "easy" =P

Now would I ever post something hard to do
but what I meant are you a person that like real spicy flavors and such. or
a wimp like me. I like a little bite but nothing mouth burning or eye
watering  if the recipe calls for a pinch of cayenne I use a dab

making you have to print them out.  if they have a link I can find.  I will
keep looking but here are some I have at my finger tips

Teriyaki Marinade and Dipping Sauce http://www.recipezaar.com/15773   I like
this one it uses honey instead sugar
mint dipping sauce http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,171,154170-248199,00.html
for tabasco sauce go to this website and type it in  some good versions
http://www.tabascofoodservice.com/

MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE
1/2 c. Grey Poupon Dijon mustard ( i use spicy for a little bit)
1/2 c. EVO oil ( good brand)
1 env. Italian salad dressing mix ( Hellman's if you can find it)
3 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tbsp. cider or wine vinegar
Combine all ingredients, stirring well until smooth. Cover and chill for 1
hour.
Serve as dipping sauce for vegetables or  chicken . Makes 1 cup

I would probably fit with your description.  But DH loves it hot.

The favorite "sauce" around here now days is a good Ranch Dressing spiked
with quite a bit of Chipotle Tabasco Sauce.

Interesting ... sounds like it would be good on pizza, too, actually
...

A few sauces come to mind.  There's always the standard teriyaki or soy
based ginger/onion/garlic thing.  Or you can try a Hunter's sauce or
Bernaise sauce.

You are making me want fried beef fondue! :)  I have a fondue pot but have
only used it for cheese sauce and dunking pieces of bread in.

I've never had beef in oil fondue, it sounds greasy to me.  My favourite
fondue is beef and pork tenderloin in chicken broth.  It's much healthier,
especially since you get enough fat from the dipping sauces.
Some dipping sauces I like are herb butter (blenderize softened butter with
some mustard and herbs), sour cream, taziki (sp?), chutneys...trying to
think here but it's been years.  My fondue set has been in storage in
Vancouver for 5 years.  I hope to get it back soon.

I remember our Christmas discussion, and I mentioned the broth
approach to my husband.  He hypothesized that the difference is that
the broth doesn't sear the meat the way oil does.

*shrug* The instruction booklet for this fondue set gives instructions
for both approaches.

No, the broth doesn't sear the meat.  But it tastes very yummy.  You should
try it both ways.

I have been to The Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) many times, and only
once did we use the oil.  It was greasy, much too greasy after awhile.
For the most part, everyone I know prefers the broth pots, for all meat
and vegetables.  
Besides, it's a really fun place to eat, especially with friends you
like to talk with.

DH and I spent Christmas at my parents', and we had fondue Christmas
Eve.  It was a great way to eat while talking the night away (a
favorite pasttime with my family, anyway).

That's what inspired me to get a fondue set.

Fondue is what we have at my parents' every Christmas eve.  Long time family
tradition.  I just love it.  You can sit around for hours, nibbling,
talking...and drinking way too much of my dad's blackberry wine!
