Season 6 short ribs (2.4 kg) with salt and fresh black pepper.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a pot over high heat.

Fry the short ribs until browned on all sides.

Remove the short ribs from the pot and set them aside.

Add 3 chopped carrots, 2 chopped onions, and 3 minced garlic cloves to the same pot; fry for 3-4 minutes over medium heat without adding more oil.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato concentrate, 2-3 bay leaves, and 3 sprigs of thyme.

Pour in 1 glass of white wine and mix well.

Place the short ribs in a crock pot; if not using a crock pot, place them in an oven-safe dish or casserole.

Add 600 ml of veal broth and 330 ml of cola to the pot or dish.

Cover and cook on high in the crock pot for 4.25 hours, or preheat the oven to 140C/280F and roast for 4 hours, basting every 20-30 minutes.

After cooking, ladle the sauce base (cooking liquid) into a pan over high heat and bring to a boil.

Reduce the sauce to half its amount, then mix 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water and add to the sauce; season with salt and pepper.

Serve the short ribs with homemade plain risotto.
