Birria De Res Con Consome - Closet Cooking

Maybe your like

Melt in your mouth tender beef in a rich chili consome!

I am a big fan of both slowly braised beef stews and tacos so recipe that combines them is perfect! Birria de res con consome is a Mexican style beef stew where beef is simmered for hours in a chili broth until the beef is melt in your mouth tender and after the long cooking time the broth is amazingly rich and flavourful! You can either eat this as a stew in a bowl or you can separate the beef and the broth, shred the beef and use it to make tacos which are then dipped into the tasty broth! Yum! I like to make a big batch of birria de res con consomme to enjoy some of it as a stew and the rest to make tacos!

The best cuts of beef for stewing are the fattier cuts, like chuck, as they have more flavour and that means that the stew can have a layer of fat on the top after simmering. This fat has a ton of flavour and you can leave it there or you can skim it off before serving it. A tip for removing the fat from the top of soups and stews is to place it in the fridge over night, the fat will solidify on the top and you can easily remove it. If you are making tacos with the birria, don’t throw this fat away! Dip the tortillas into it before cooking them, or place some of it in the pan instead of oil! The beef fat will add even more amazing flavour to the tacos!
