I added a few cloves of garlic to this recipe because beef and garlic just "go together" - almost felt like an erroneous omission! That, plus I nearly always use garlic in my Italian recipes... This stew went very well with a simple polenta to which I added just some parmesan cheese. We ate it with the rest of the bottle of wine I used to cook it with. Excellent and simple meal. My husband adores short ribs in just about any form! :)
