Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Place 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl and let come to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. Trim green beans if needed. In another small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and crème fraîche; set aside.
  2. On one side of a baking sheet, toss green beans with a drizzle of oil, ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. On the other side, toss potato slices with a drizzle of oil, ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 10-12 minutes.
  3. While veggies roast, heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon in a single layer and cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
  4. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season with half the steak spice (all for 4 servings), salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  5. Halve baguette lengthwise. Toast until golden. In the small bowl with softened butter, add half the basil paste (all for 4 servings) and stir to combine. Spread basil butter on cut sides of baguette. Slice into 1-inch strips.
  6. In a small pot, heat cream sauce base and cheese roux concentrate over medium-high heat until steaming and slightly bubbling, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add cheddar cheese a handful at a time, whisking constantly until melted. Remove from heat.
  7. Halve, core and thinly slice pear. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Arrange potatoes, green beans, bacon, tomatoes, pear, brie, baguette strips and steak on a large board or platter. Serve with fondue and mustard cream sauce for dipping. Place a trivet or towel under the fondue pot to protect surfaces.

Recipe Tips

For the best fondue texture, add cheese gradually and whisk constantly.

Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

Use a variety of dippers like apple slices or crusty bread for extra variety.

FAQ

Can I use a different cheese for the fondue?

Yes, you can substitute white cheddar with Gruyère or Emmental for a classic Swiss fondue flavor.

How do I reheat leftover fondue?

Reheat gently in a small pot over low heat, stirring frequently. Add a splash of milk or cream if it thickens too much.

Can I prepare any components ahead of time?

Absolutely! Roast the veggies, cook the bacon and make the fondue in advance. Reheat the fondue and steak before serving.
