Birria Tacos - Tender, Juicy Beef You Didn't Know You Needed
Ingredients
- 2kg (4.4 lbs) Beef short rib meat (Oyster blade, cheeks, and chuck are all good alternatives)
- 6 dried Ancho chillies, cut with seeds removed
- 4 dried Guajillo chillies, cut with seeds removed
- 4 dried chipotle chilli morita chillies
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 1 white onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 peppercorns
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 50ml (approx. 3.4 tbsp) apple cider vinegar
- 500ml (approx. 2.1 cups) beef stock
- salt, to taste
To serve
- diced white onion
- coriander (cilantro)
- oaxaca Cheese or Mozzarella cheese
- fresh Corn tortillas
- limes
1. Begin by seasoning the beef generously with salt and set aside.
2. Place your dried chillies in boiling water. Once the chillies are added, turn off the heat.
3. Simmer the chillies for 10 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of simmering, introduce the tomatoes.
4. Transfer the chillies and tomatoes from the water, along with the garlic and onion, to a blender. Add just enough of the chilli water to facilitate a smooth blend.
5. In a large pot (with a lid), warm the peanut oil and brown the beef thoroughly. Once browned, set the beef aside.
6. In the same pot, cook the blended chilli mixture for 6-7 minutes on medium heat.
7. Reintroduce the beef to the pot, then add the spices (contained in a cheese cloth pouch), beef stock, and vinegar.
8. Allow to simmer for 3-4 hours on a very low heat until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 45 minutes once at pressure.
9. After cooking, let the meat rest in the sauce with the heat off for about an hour.
10. Proceed to shred the beef and set aside the sauce for later use.
11. For serving, immerse a corn tortilla in the reserved sauce, then place it on a medium-hot frying pan.
12. Layer the tortilla with shredded beef, mozzarella cheese, diced onion, and coriander.
13. Fold the tortilla in half and toast both sides. Serve with an additional helping of the braising sauce and a lime wedge.
