The Beer Cheese Fondue can be made with things you can dip: grilled steak cubes, sausage cubes, tomatoes, celery, red peppers, marbled rye and sourdough.
1 tablespoon of butter
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons of Worcestershire
Dash of hot sauce
1. Toss shredded cheese with cornstarch until cheese is evenly coated. Over medium heat, using a medium pot, sauté shallots in butter until translucent, but do not brown.
2. When shallots are translucent, pour beer into the pot. Add Worcestershire to the beer. Bring to a boil. When the beer is boiling rapidly, slowly add cheddar, one big handful at a time. Stir the beer cheese mixture in a zig-zag motion, which will help to break up the cheese. Do not add another handful of cheese until the first is melted completely. Continue until all of the cheese is used. Season to taste with hot sauce.
3. Pour into a warm ceramic bowl, or fondue pot.
4. Serve with grilled steak cubes, grilled smoked sausage, sourdough or rye bread cubes, cherry tomatoes, celery, or whatever happens to be lurking in your fridge.
