The big finale of our 3-course Christmas menu with McCormick!

Might sound hard to top our French Onion Pasta and Fish and Chips with Homemade Tartar Sauce, but we did.

Watch them here —
French Onion Pasta and Fish and Chips with Homemade Tartar Sauce

This juicy BBQ Cola Braised Beef Short Ribs was cooked to perfection in Ninja™ Speedi Cooker, and take it from us, it was DELICIOUS.

We used McCormick Grill Mates Vintage Smokehouse BBQ Sauce, McCormick Parsley leaves and Coca-Cola for the ultimate sweet-savoury combo.

Our favourite part was seasoning and cooking this entire meal in one machine! Ninja™ Speedi Cooker prepares different cooking methods simultaneously — we “seared” beef short ribs while “stir-frying” vegetables and “steamed” potatoes while this stew was brewing!

Seasoned to perfection with McCormick’s herbs and spices, this BBQ Cola Braised Beef Short Rib Stew recipe is a must-make for the holidays.

Celebrate Christmas with McCormick’s Herbs and Spices in their new packaging. New Look, Same Great Flavor. Coming soon to your favourite supermarkets.

No Ninja™ Speedi Cooker? You can still make this recipe over the stove and braise slowly to tenderise the meats.
