DIRECTIONS

MAKING THE ADOBO

Step 1

On a preheated pan add some oil and ad Guajillo and Ancho Chiles (chopped in 1-inch pieces), fry them a little bit.

Step 2

Fill a pot with ½ liter of water and boil. Add guajillo, ancho, and arbol chile peppers; boil for 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow peppers to soak until cool. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the water.

Step 3

In a blender combine soaked chile peppers, cooked tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, 2 teaspoons black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and salt to taste in a blender. Pour in reserved 1/4 cup of chile water; blend until smooth Since we are not straining, make sure it is fully blended. You might need to blend a second time.

Some people will strain the sauce for the Birria.  We are not much of a strainer. Authentic Mexican food is rustic. (this is optional)

PREPARING THE BEEF

Step 4

Rinse your meat and dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat oil preference a neutral oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook, you really want color on your beef. Do not skip this step, helps lock in delicious flavors. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Now add the meat sauce into your electric or pressure pot,  the sauce has to cover the beef. If for some strange reason does not, add more water and a little more salt. Set it on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours. The meat will be soft and tender and its ready to eat.

Birria de Res is typically served with raw diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime and tortillas.
