  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into large chunks
– 2 dried guajillo chiles
– 2 dried ancho chiles
– 1 onion, quartered
– 4 cloves garlic
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon oregano
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 4 cups beef broth
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– Salt, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Green onions, for garnish
– Ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
– Lime wedges, for serving
– Sliced radishes, for garnish


Instructions

Creating Birria Ramen can be simple by following these clear and concise steps:

1. Prepare the Chiles: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the guajillo and ancho chiles until fragrant. Remove stems and seeds, then soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes.

2. Make the Marinade: In a blender, combine the softened chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.

3. Marinate the Beef: Place the beef chunks in a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the meat is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).

4. Cook the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, add the marinated beef along with the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

5. Cook the Ramen Noodles: While the beef is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

6. Shred the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot, stirring to incorporate it into the broth.

7. Assemble the Ramen Bowls: In serving bowls, add a portion of the cooked ramen noodles. Pour the hot birria broth with beef over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets plenty of meat.
