Beef Stew with no Onions

Some people just don't like the taste of onions,
so I came up with a tasty beef stew recipe
without onions or even any garlic at all.
The trick was to find an ingedient that would
add a little tart sweetness that onions add in.
I found one secret ingredient that adds a lot
of flavor and a little heat to replace the onions.
(One whole Ancho chili pepper.)
This beef stew takes about two hours or so,
to make on a slow simmer and will feed
the entire family for a day or three.

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds beef sirloin tips
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon MSG (optional) 2 celery stalks, 1/2" slice
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
6 white potatoes, peeled and diced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomato
1 cup cold water
1 whole ancho chili pepper
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
grated parmesan cheese for serving
crusty white bread for serving

Directions:
I'm tired of typing right now so I guess
your on your own in making this beef stew.
I know you can do it making this recipe your own.
