Instructions
- Prepare Dried Chiles: Wearing gloves if desired, rinse the chiles and use scissors to open them and remove the stem and seeds.
- Make Sauce: Add tomatoes and onion to a very large stock pot (6+qt) over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes, stirring. Add whole garlic cloves, chile peppers, and all of the spices except the bay leaf. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add vinegar and 4 cups water. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- Blend: Add mixture to a blender and blend as smooth as possible. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer, back into the pot.
- Add 6 cups beef broth and 1 Tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil.
- Add short ribs, chuck roast and 2 bay leaves. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 ½ hours or until meat is tender.
- Remove meat to a plate and shred into pieces. Discard bones and bay leaves.
- Cook Ramen noodles according to package instructions. Use tongs to remove noodles from cooking liquid and add cooked noodles to a bowl. Pour a ladleful of hot birria broth on top and top with shredded beef, cilantro, onion and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Notes
- Ramen: Use any flavor ramen noodles--discard the seasoning packet. (I found I enjoy birria ramen with dry noodles, but you may use refrigerated ramen noodles.) Cook in boiling water until al dente. We also love this with a cup of Tapatio ramen. Add half a ladleful of birria broth, and some hot water and cook according to package instructions. Add shredded meat, onion and cilantro before serving.
- Make Ahead Instructions: All of the components for this meal can be prepped ahead of time and stored separately in the fridge. Just heat sauce, broth, and meat and cook the ramen noodles when ready to serve.
- Freezing Instructions: The meat, broth, and sauce can be frozen in separate freezer safe bags or containers. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using. Use for this homemade Birria Ramen, or Birria Tacos!
- Leftovers: Use leftover meat and broth to make Birria Tacos!
