Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef chuck or short ribs (cut into chunks)
• 4 dried guajillo chiles
• 2 dried ancho chiles
• 2 dried pasilla chiles
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chiles: Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Then, soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened. Drain and blend into a smooth paste with a little bit of water.
2. Brown the Meat: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef chunks in batches, then set aside.
3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and ground cloves. Cook for another minute.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the beef back to the pot, along with the chile paste, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and bay leaf. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds.
6. Shred the Meat: Remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot and stir to combine.
7. Serve: Serve the birria hot with tortillas, lime wedges, chopped onions, and cilantro.

So rich and flavorful—hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Hello everyone! For an extra kick, try roasting the chiles before blending them into the sauce. I think it really deepens the flavor though!
