Garlic and bay leaf -- Bay always seems to perk up anything with beef in 
it.  Celery (especially the leaves) is good too. And of course, a cameline 
sauce or a lamprey sauce are fine with beef not cooked with onion. It would 
help to know how you're fixing the beef; different cooking methods lend 
themselves better to different seasonings.
