Step 1
Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Stir together mayonnaise, parsley, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Pour mustard into a small serving bowl. Divide both sauces between small dipping bowls for each diner.
Step 4
Pour oil into a fondue pot (or heavy-bottomed saucepan). Heat over medium-high until a wooden skewer sizzles immediately when dipped, ~5 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer hot oil pot to a fondue burner at the table or keep on stove. Provide long fondue forks or wooden skewers to each diner.
Step 6
Each diner spears a beef cube and cooks it in the hot oil until the exterior is browned, 60–90 seconds, then dips in mustard or herb sauce.
Step 7
Serve with crusty bread, boiled potatoes, or pickled cornichons on the side to cleanse the palate between bites.
