Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the guajillo peppers, ancho peppers, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, water, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2.5-3 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Return the shredded beef to the strained broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles and divide them among bowls. Ladle the birria broth and beef over the noodles. Top with your favorite toppings, such as chopped cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges, avocado slices, and radishes. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier birria ramen, add 1-2 dried chile de arbol peppers to the pot along with the other dried peppers. You can also add a splash of hot sauce to each bowl before serving. Store leftover birria in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
