Method

Preparing the Birria Sauce

  1. 1

    Soak the Chiles

    Remove stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. In a dry skillet, toast the chiles over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Soak them in hot water for 15 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, onion, garlic, ground cumin, ground oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add 1 cup of beef broth and blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chuck roast and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the meat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In the same pot, add the blended sauce, remaining beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add the Beef

    Return the seared beef to the pot. Cover and cook on low heat for about 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreddable.

Cooking the Noodles

  1. 6

    Cook the Noodles

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the dried egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Assembling the Dish

    Prepare the Bowls

    Shred the cooked beef and return it to the pot with the birria sauce. In serving bowls, add a portion of the noodles, followed by the birria beef and sauce.

  2. 8

    Add Garnishes

    Top with chopped onion, fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
