  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
– 3 cups beef broth
– 1 cup water
– 2 dried guajillo chiles, seeds removed
– 1 dried ancho chile, seeds removed
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 small onion, chopped
– 1 tablespoon ground cumin
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 4 servings fresh ramen noodles
– Toppings: sliced radishes, fresh cilantro, green onions, lime wedges, and diced onions


Instructions

Creating Savory Birria Ramen with Tender Beef and Rich Broth involves several simple steps that guide you to a rich and flavorful outcome:

1. Prepare the Dried Chiles: Toast the guajillo and ancho chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Soak them in hot water for 15-20 minutes until softened.

2. Blend the Marinade: In a blender, combine the softened chiles, minced garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and a bit of beef broth. Blend until smooth, creating a thick paste.

3. Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add the Marinade: Pour the blended marinade over the seared beef, stirring to coat all the pieces evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. Simmer the Beef: Add the beef broth and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

6. Cook the Ramen: While the beef simmers, cook your ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

7. Serve: To serve, place cooked ramen noodles in a large bowl and ladle the rich birria broth over the top. Garnish with radishes, cilantro, green onions, lime wedges, and diced onions. Enjoy each bite of this savory delight!
