Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef short ribs with salt, black pepper, cumin, and oregano. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Birria Broth

    Return the beef ribs to the pot. Pour in the birria broth, ensuring the ribs are mostly submerged.

  5. 5

    Braising

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the ribs braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot. Shred the meat and mix it with Russian dressing and Chihuahua cheese. Serve with remaining birria broth on the side.
