   Push onions aside, add beef slices, and sear until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste and cook 1 minute to coat.

3. 3

   Add red wine (if using) and deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Pour in beef stock, add Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Off heat, stir in the curry roux cubes until fully dissolved. Return to low heat and simmer 5 more minutes, stirring, until the sauce is silky and thickened.

5. 5

   Serve the sauce ladled over hot steamed rice and garnish with chopped parsley.
