  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 27 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds of beef chuck roast or lamb shank
– 8 dried guajillo chilies
– 4 dried ancho chilies
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 2 bay leaves
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 cups beef broth
– 4 portions of ramen noodles
– 1 cup cilantro, chopped
– 1 lime, cut into wedges
– Sliced radishes, for garnish
– Avocado, sliced (optional)
– 1 cup diced onions, for garnish
– Queso fresco, crumbled (optional)


Instructions

To create this amazing dish, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chilies: Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo and ancho chilies. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until they soften.
2. Create the Marinade: In a blender, combine the softened chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a smooth paste.
3. Marinate the Meat: Place the beef or lamb in a large bowl and pour the marinade over the meat. Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
4. Sear the Meat: In a large pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated meat and sear until browned on all sides.
5. Add Broth and Spices: Pour the beef broth into the pot and add bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer, covering the pot. Cook for about 1.5 hours or until the meat is tender.
6. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Shortly before the meat is done, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside.
7. Shred the Meat: Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot, allowing it to absorb more flavors.
8. Assemble the Ramen: In individual bowls, place a portion of cooked ramen noodles. Ladle the birria broth and meat over the noodles.
9. Garnish: Top each bowl with diced onions, chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and avocado if desired.
10. Serve with Lime Wedges: Add a wedge of lime to each bowl for a zesty finish.

These steps will guide you through creating this exciting dish that dazzles with flavor and texture.
