Birria Ingredients
- 5 ancho peppers stems and seeds removed
- 5 guajillo peppers stems and seeds removed
- 2-3 chiles de arbol optional for spicier
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large white onion chopped
- 3 large tomatoes chopped
- 5 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1 tablespoon sea salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups beef stock separated
- 3.5 lbs Chuck Roast
Instructions
Prepare the Chilies:
- Remove the stems and seeds from your chilies.
- Toast the dried chilies in a dry pan until fragrant. Soak them in hot water for about 20 minutes. Enough for them to be rehydrated and soft.
Prepare the Birria:
- While the chilies are being soaked chop your garlic, onion, and tomatoes.
- In the pan you toasted the chilies heat your tbsp of oil. Throw in the onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Remove once they are softened.
- Add the cooked onion, tomatoes, and garlic to a food processor.
- Remove the softened chilies and add to the food processor.
- Add the seasonings to the food processor along with the vinegar and 1 cup beef stock. Process until smooth. It should be pretty thick. You can strain if you’d like for a smoother sauce.
Prepare the Chuck Roast:
- Take your chuck roast and cut it into smaller chunks.
- Once you have your meat cut up place it in a Dutch oven.
- Add your Birria sauce and the remaining beef broth.
- Preheat your oven to 350 and cook your Birria for about 3 hours once the meat is fully cooked and tender.
