Method

Preparing the Birria

  1. 1

    Toast the Chiles

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the guajillo and ancho chiles for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    Once cooled, remove the stems and seeds from the chiles. Place them in a blender with the chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 cup of beef broth and blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Beef

    Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Birria

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef chunks on all sides. Pour the blended sauce over the beef and add the remaining beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.

Preparing the Ramen

  1. 5

    Cook the Ramen Noodles

    In a separate pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Season the Ramen

    Once the noodles are cooked, return them to the pot and add the soy sauce. Stir to combine.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Combine the Birria and Ramen

    In serving bowls, place a portion of the seasoned ramen noodles. Ladle the birria and its broth over the noodles.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the ramen birria with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve with thinly sliced radishes on the side.
