Birria De Res Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chiles

   Remove stems and seeds from the dried guajillo and ancho chiles. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened.

2. 2

   Blend the Sauce

   In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding some beef broth if necessary to achieve a sauce-like consistency.

3. 3

   Brown the Meat

   In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned. Remove the meat and set aside.

4. 4

   Cook the Beef

   In the same pot, add the blended sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the beef broth and bay leaves, then return the seared beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

5. 5

   Cook the Rice

   While the beef is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.

6. 6

   Heat the Beans

   In a small pot, heat the canned black beans over medium heat until warmed through.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the beef is tender, shred it and serve with the consomé. Accompany with rice, beans, lime wedges, and chopped cilantro.
