  • Sprinkle the 1 ounce Birria seasoning over the beef. Add water or 4 cups beef stock to cover the ingredients, ensuring a flavorful broth.
  • Cook on low for 4-6 hours. This slow cooking process allows the beef to become wonderfully tender and the flavors to fully develop.

Notes

Opt for chuck or brisket as these cuts break down beautifully over long cooking periods, enhancing the broth with rich flavors.
Don’t hesitate to experiment with various toppings like radishes, green onions, or a squeeze of lime to bring brightness and balance to the hearty flavors.
Add diced chilies or a spoonful of hot sauce to give your ramen an extra kick.
