Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Place 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl and let it 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.
- On 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.
- 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 bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
- Pat steak dry with paper towels; season with half the steak spice, 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.
- Halve baguette lengthwise and toast until golden. Mix softened butter with half the basil paste. Spread basil butter on toasted baguette halves.
- In a small pot, heat cream sauce base and cheese roux concentrate over medium-high heat until steaming, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Gradually add cheddar cheese, whisking constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Halve, core and thinly slice pear. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Arrange steak, mustard cream sauce, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, pear, bacon, brie and basil butter toast on a large board or platter. Serve with warm cheddar fondue for dipping. Place a trivet under the fondue pot to protect surfaces.
Recipe Tips
For a richer fondue, use a good-quality white cheddar and whisk constantly to prevent clumping.
Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
Arrange the board with small bowls for the fondue and mustard cream sauce to keep everything tidy.
