Heat a cast iron pot over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke.

Sear the short ribs in the pot for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.

Pour a little beef broth into the pot to deglaze and remove the drippings.

Add sliced onions to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Add tomato paste to the onion and garlic mixture and stir until incorporated.

Add 2 cups of beef broth and 1 cup of red wine to the pot, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Add 2 bay leaves to the pot and reduce the heat to let it simmer.

Place the short ribs back into the pot, ensuring they are covered with the liquid.

Cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven set at 350°F.

Braise the short ribs in the oven for about 2.5 hours, checking for tenderness afterwards.

Prepare cheesy grits while the short ribs are braising.
