Instructions
 

Birria

  • Soak the Ancho and Guajillo chiles in boiling water for 20 minutes. Once cooled down, remove the seeds from the chiles. Reserve the soaking water.
  • Add salt and pepper to your chuck roast and sear it on a cast iron skillet or hot pan for about 2 minutes on each side. Set aside and let it rest.
  • in the same skillet, add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, onions, tomatoes, cumin, salt, bay leaf, clove and oregano and cook until onions are transluscent
  • Add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant. About 1 minute
  • Add the Ancho and Guajillo chiles and cooke for 1 more minute
  • Add the chipotle chiles with adobo and 1 cup of the water that was used to soak the chile ancho and guajillo
  • Remove from the heat and let it cool down enough to add to your blender and blend on low speed to create a marinade
  • Cut the chuck roast in 5-6 chunks and add them to your instant pot
  • Add the blended spices and chiles and make sure to cover all the meat with the marinade
  • Set instant pot (pressure cooker)to high pressure and cook for 45 minutes
  • Once time is up, allow 10-15 minutes of natural pressure release. After that do a quick release of the remaining pressure
  • Remove the beef and separate from the au jus or caldo that has formed in the instant pot
  • Reserve the juices from cooking to dip your tortillas or add to the meat when served.

Ramen

  • Cook the ramen per package instructions. I cooked mine for 7 minutes.
  • Add the cooked ramen to a bowl and add a serving of the shredded birria.
  • Add the consome (broth) until the ramen is covered in broth.
  • Garnish with cilantro and diced onions
