Instructions

Birria De Res Method:

Step 1

Start by removing the stems and seeds of ancho and guajilo chilies, as well as chilies de arbol.

Step 2

Season all the meat generously with salt. In a large oiled pot heated over medium heat, add the meat in batches and sear 2-3 minutes on all sides. Once seared, take out the meat and leave on the side.

Step 3

Add a bit more oil to the pot back on medium heat and add chopped onions. Saute until just softened.

Step 4

Once softened, add tomato paste and cook down until paste starts to darken.

Step 5

At which point, add sliced garlic and saute until fragrant and add rich beef stock. Mix together and add in chilies.

Step 6

Add the meat back in.

Step 7

Separately in cheesecloth, add black pepper corns, toasted coriander, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves. Fold together and tie tightly.

Step 8

Toss the spice bag mixture into the stock and bring to a light simmer and cover. Braise for 1 hour stirring occasionally.
