For added aroma and flavor, Spices and seasonings are used. If you are looking for a stronger onion flavor, you can use shallots. A shallot by the way is a type of onion. The only difference is their flavor. Beef stock is one magical ingredient that adds a beefy flavor. Based from experience in cooking beef stews, the beef stock is an excellent substitute for beef base or bouillon.
