Next add the tomato paste, molasses, paprika, and soy sauce, stir until smooth and coating the vegetables fairly evenly.
Pour in the stock and Dr. Pepper. Add cloves and replace short ribs into the liquid.* Bring to a boil. When boiling, cover the pan with a lid or tightly with foil and place in oven.
Braise for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until fork tender. If it goes longer be sure to check liquid levels are not too low. Serve with braising liquid as desired.
