“Swish, swish” in English, or “Shabu shabu” in Japanese. Either way, it is essentially a Japanese version of fondue that uses boiling broth in lieu of oil to cook thinly sliced meat (beef tenderloin from Meyer’s Cattle in this recipe). The broth is made with beef broth and the Otter Water Summer Pale Ale from the Philipsburg Brewing Company. This meal is adventurous for the American palette, but easy to make with fresh ingredients from Missoula Fresh Market.
