Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 3 dried guajillo chiles
- 3 dried ancho chiles
- 2 dried pasilla chiles
- 1 large onion
- 5 garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces canned tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups beef broth
- 4 servings shirataki noodles
- 4 sliced radishes
- 1 sliced into wedges lime
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 chopped green onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
Soak the toasted chiles in hot water for 15 minutes to soften.
While the chiles are soaking, cut the beef chuck into large chunks.
In a blender, combine the softened chiles, onion, garlic, canned tomatoes with their juice, white vinegar, oregano, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Pour the chile sauce over the beef in a large oven-safe pot. Add the beef broth and stir to combine.
Cover the pot with a lid and place in the preheated oven. Cook for about 3.5 to 4 hours or until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot with the broth and stir well.
Prepare shirataki noodles according to the package instructions (usually requires rinsing and boiling briefly).
To serve, divide the noodles into bowls. Ladle the birria over the noodles.
Garnish with sliced radishes, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, and green onion.
Serve hot and enjoy the fusion flavors of birria and ramen!
