Print Recipe

A flavorful fusion of Mexican beef birria and Japanese ramen, featuring slow-simmered tender beef, rich consommé, and melted cheese for a comforting and easy-to-make bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
  • 3 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed
  • 2 dried ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 medium white onion, quartered
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 2 cups consommé from the birria broth
  • 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish
  • Fresh lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened.
  2. Drain the soaked chiles and blend with garlic cloves, quartered onion, cumin, oregano, and about 1 cup of the soaking water until smooth to make the birria sauce.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season beef chunks with salt and pepper and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour the blended chile sauce over the beef. Add the bay leaf and remaining beef broth to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and skim foam.
  5. Remove the beef and set aside. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve to get a clear consommé. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes in boiling water). Drain and divide into serving bowls.
  7. Shred or chop the tender birria beef and place atop the noodles.
  8. Ladle hot consommé over the noodles and beef, leaving space for cheese.
  9. Sprinkle shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese over each bowl to melt from the heat.
  10. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Toast dried chiles lightly before soaking for deeper flavor. Do not skip browning the beef for better broth depth. Simmer low and slow to keep meat tender and broth clear. Use fresh ramen noodles if possible for better texture. Shred cheese yourself for better melting. Reheat consommé gently if cooled before serving.
