This will be followed up by Quesabirria Tacos, obviously. Have a seat, it's gonna be a while. Worthwhile.

Ingredients:

  • 3.5 lb. Chuck Roast 
  • 5 Ancho peppers (dried, stems & seeds removed)
  • 5 Guajillo peppers (dried, stems & seeds removed)
  • 2-3 Chile de Arbol peppers (dried, stems & seeds removed)
  • 1 large white onion (chopped)
  • 3 large tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 large tomatoes (chopped & roasted)
  • 5-7 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 tbs Olive Oil
  • 4 cups beef broth

 

  • 1 tbs garlic powder 
  • 1 tbs garlic salt
  • 1 tbs onion powder
  • 1 tbs Mexican Oregano (crushed Basil leaves)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon 
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 bay leaves

Directions:

  1. Destem & deseed all peppers, dry roast them in a skillet until the skin changes color.
  2. Remove from skillet and steep in a large bowl with 6 cups of HOT water until needed.
  3. In same skillet, add olive oil, 3 chopped tomatoes & chopped onion; cook until softened. Add garlic & cook for one minute.
  4. Place cooked veggies & garlic into blender & blend. 
  5. Add softened peppers to blender, (RESERVING PEPPER WATER FOR LATER USE). Blend.
  6. Add seasonings & 1 cup of beef broth to blender, blend until smooth enough. It will be thick.
  7. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STRAIN THIS LIKE SO MANY SAY... THE WATER, THE BROTH AND BOILING IS GOING TO MAKE IT A SOUPY BROTH.)
  8. Anyways, strain if you want. I don't & we all loved it.
  9. Cut meat into LARGE chunks and evenly so they cook along the same time frame.
  10. In large bowl, place meat chunks & pour sauce over meat completely. Rub into the meat & marinate in fridge for AT LEAST 2 HOURS.
  11. After 2 hours, roast the 2 large, chopped tomatoes in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-ish minutes. 
  12. Add meat & marinade to a HUGE pot. 
  13. Add roasted tomatoes, remaining 3 cups of beef broth, 3-5 cups of the reserved pepper water & 3 bay leaves. 
  14. Cover & start on medium until a small boil, then cook on low for 3 1/2 hours, stirring often.
  15. Meat should be tender and damn near fall apart when shredding.
  16. If you need it more brothy, add more water.
  17. TASTE! You may need a little more salt! 

Best served as tacos, or with tortillas and huge bowl of this as a soup. Please add cilantro, onions, cheese & salsa to this delicacy. It needs it & so do you.
