Heat Olive Oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear Short Ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove Short Ribs and set aside.
Add Vegetables to the Dutch oven and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in Tomato Paste and cook for 2 minutes.
Deglaze the pot with Red Wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Reduce wine by half, about 5 minutes.
Add Moxie Soda, Beef Broth, Worcestershire Sauce, Thyme, and Bay Leaf. Bring to a simmer.
Return Short Ribs to the Dutch oven. The liquid should mostly cover the ribs; add more broth if needed.
Cover and braise in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 3.5-4 hours, or until Short Ribs are fork-tender.
Remove Bay Leaf. Stir in chopped Dark Chocolate until melted and smooth. Serve with creamy polenta or roasted root vegetables.
