Add half a tablespoon of better than bouillon roast beef base and mix well.

Sprinkle in all-purpose flour and mix until the beef is coated.

Add tomato sauce and stir for about 30 seconds.

Pour in hot water while mixing to avoid lumps, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release flavors.

Add cumin, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
