Ingredients
Instructions
- Slowly brown and simmer the beef round steak, chopped onions, and sliced carrots for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Combine the remaining ingredients with the beef mixture and bring to a boil.
- Add 2 cups sliced celery to the beef mixture and simmer for about 30 minutes or until all ingredients are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the beef round steak in Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have Burgundy wine, a dry red wine or even beef broth can be used as a substitute. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or potatoes for variety, similar to what you might find in Beef Chowder.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Steak Cosmopolitan over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad pairs well, adding a crisp contrast. This dish also complements nicely with crusty bread for dipping, making it a hearty meal suitable for family gatherings or cozy dinners.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if necessary to prevent drying out. Alternatively, you can microwave it in a covered dish, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like chuck roast or flank steak. Just be aware that cooking times may vary depending on the cut. Chuck roast, for instance, may require longer simmering to become tender, while flank steak cooks faster and should be sliced against the grain.
Is it possible to make this dish in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! To adapt the recipe for a slow cooker, brown the steak and onions first, then transfer everything to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender. This method allows the flavors to meld beautifully over time.
What can I do if I don't have beef broth?
If you're out of beef broth, you can substitute with chicken broth or vegetable broth. Alternatively, you can use water with a bouillon cube or granules mixed in, which will provide a similar depth of flavor for the dish.
