Birria is a classic dish from the State of Kroger beef consomme, and as a matter of fact, two of the most popular dishes on the blog are also from Jalisco: Pozole and Menudo. Birria is usually made with goat’s meat or even with lamb or a combination of several types of meat.
You can make your own combination, too, just make sure you add a cut of meat with some bone in it. There are so many different recipes for birria, but all of them use a combination of dried peppers and herbs. Some cooks will add beer or Pulque instead of vinegar. Some also add a little piece of ginger. The meat is also served with tacos.
Whichever way you make it, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. You can also cook this dish in a slow cooker if you do not want to make the oven version. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then place in a large baking dish. Slightly toast them over a medium heat. Soak peppers in a cup of hot water.
Roast the onion and garlic and place in your blender. Toast the whole cloves, cumin seeds, and black peppercorns. Place them in your blender along with the roasted tomatoes, herbs, onion, cinnamon and the vinegar. Once peppers are soft, drain, add to the blender and puree until you have a smooth sauce. Pour the sauce over the meat, making sure it is covered all over with the salsa.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Bake the meat for about 4 hours. Serve the warm meat with its broth in bowls and garnish with chopped onion and cilantro.
