Birria de Res (Broia...?)



This is my first attempt at birria de res, and although it does deviate a bit from traditional recipes, it is nevertheless...BROTASTIC, almost prefer these to my carnitbros

Feeds 6-8
15 min prep time
12 hours cooking time
  • 1 beef pot roast (about 3-4 pounds - don't pay more than $3.99 lb)
  • 1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeƱo pepper
  • 1 Serranbro pepper
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chile powder
  • Large crock pot or dutch oven
You want this guy to be going for about 10-12 hours, just like the carnitas. You can mix this with eggs, eat straight, put on a tostada, or best (and traditionally) - in tacos.
  1. Turn your crock pot on low, while heating up, and chop the onions and peppers and break up your garlic (these are just for flavor so no need to look pretty, and feel free to toss the garlic/onion peels into the pot)
  2. Shake salt, chile powder and pepper over the meat
  3. Place the roast fat(ter) side up in the crockpot and fill to half the height of the meat with water
  4. Empty the can of adobo peppers into the crockpot along with the onions and garlic
  5. Stir regularly and flip once if possible
  6. Drain ~80% of the liquid and toss the solids (other than the beef dummy), stir and pull/shred the beef.
  7. BIRRIA!!!
