Step 3: Build the Flavor Base

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter.

Sauté the chopped onion until soft and lightly golden.
This gives the sauce sweetness and depth.

Add tomato paste and cook for about 30 seconds to remove its raw taste.

Step 4: Add the Flour

Sprinkle the flour into the pan and stir.
This will thicken the sauce and give it a silky texture.

Cook for 1 minute so the flour doesn’t taste raw.

Step 5: Create the Sauce

Pour in the beef broth slowly while whisking or stirring so it lumps less.

Add:

• Soy sauce
• Worcestershire sauce
• Sugar
• Optional chili flakes

Let everything come to a gentle simmer. As it heats, the sauce will thicken and develop a glossy finish.

Step 6: Return the Beef to the Pan

Add the browned beef back into the sauce.
Lower the heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and tender.

If you want a creamier finish, add a splash of heavy cream in the final 2 minutes.

Taste and adjust the seasoning — more salt? More soy? A little more sugar? Make it perfect for you.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve hot with:

✨ Rice
✨ Buttered mashed potatoes
✨ Egg noodles
✨ Couscous
✨ Crusty bread

No matter what you choose, the sauce will taste amazing with it.
