Place the beef stock, scallions, ginger, garlic,
and peppercorns in the Cuisinart
Fondue Pot.
Set temperature at Setting 6 and bring to a boil.
Reduce to Setting 3 and simmer for about 20 - 25
minutes, until broth has taken on the flavors of the
ginger and scallions.
Use skewers to dip slices of beef or pork
tenderloin and the accompanying vegetables
into the stock. May be served with small bowls
of hot steamed rice for each diner. Add additional
warm beef stock to the Fondue Pot as needed,
to keep the liquid deep enough for dipping
