Made this stew with cubed beef (not short ribes and bones) and it worked out well. Also added celery and garlic and had Gruenkern bread with it. Overall, quite 'gruenkerny' but very aromatic and something different! Baking notes here for anyone interested https://www.thebreadshebakes.com/2016/11/gruenkern-bread-recipe-unripe-s...
