Boil 1 cup of water to hydrate the dried chiles.

While the water is boiling, remove the stems and seeds from the chiles.

Place the chiles in the hot water.

To Assemble Birria Ramen Soup:

This warm bowl of flavorful beef birria is perfect for a cold night in. This authentic Mexican recipe is enjoyed with a side of tortillas, white onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Use the leftovers to make my famous Birria Tacos!

Beef Birria

oxtail or short ribs

neutral oil ((avocado or vegetable oil))

ancho chiles ((ends trimmed and de-seeded))

guajillo chiles ((ends trimmed and de-seeded))

chiles de arbol ((ends trimmed and de-seeded))

onion

roma tomatoes

black peppercorns

dried Mexican oregano

cumin seeds

coriander seeds

Mexican cinnamon

apple cider vinegar

beef broth

cilantro

white onion (from 1/4 onion)

Lime wedges

Bring the meat to room temperature, for about 30 minutes, and then sprinkle liberally on all sides with kosher salt. In a large Dutch oven (or a pot with an oven-proof lid), set over medium-high heat, add the neutral oil. When hot, add the meat and sear on all sides until browned. I like to do a hard sear. You’ll have to do this in batches. Transfer all back to the pot when you&#39;re done.

To Sear The Meat:

Meanwhile, in another medium pot, add the dried chiles, halved white onion, garlic cloves, tomatoes, spices, bay leaves, and add cold water until it covers everything. Place over medium heat and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Pour through a strainer and transfer everything (including the whole spices) to a blender. If your blender is small you may need to do this in batches.

Add the apple cider vinegar and about 1 cup of beef broth or water and blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Add salt to taste (I added about 1 tablespoon of kosher salt).

*Note: I have a high-powered blender and it resulted in a super smooth sauce. If you have a blender that is meh, you may want to run the sauce through a strainer to discard any big bits the blender didn’t puree. Very optional!

To Make the Sauce:

Preheat the oven to 300F. Pour the sauce over the meat. To the blender, add the remaining 5 to 7 cups of broth or water. Swish it around to pick up any leftover sauce and pour it into the pot.

Place over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer and then immediately cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender.

To Braise the Meat:

Ladle the broth into bowls and add a few pieces of meat to each bowl. Garnish with cilantro, onion, and some lime wedges.

To Serve:

In progress, we’ll see how it turns out. I wish I would have read comments first, since Instructions were unclear. After tasting I only used about 1 cup of the cooking liquid and added the rest as plain beef broth to the sauce. Glad I hedged. Maybe you could update the recipe so others don’t make the same mistake that myself and another commenter made?

I tried this recipe for the first time and it was a total hit with my partner whom is from Mexico. He said it was better than the authentic restaurant he always takes me to when he wants warm homemade food from his country.

It was great and very authentic, loved the flavors.

Love your comment
“Would not put your blender through that”

BTW my experiment was delicious!!
Thank you

Wow Adrianna Adarme, that birria looks absolutely amazing! The meat looks perfectly cooked and juicy, and the broth looks rich and flavorful. I can almost smell the delicious aromas of chili, cumin, and oregano from here.
