How to Make the Sauce
- Rehydrate the chiles
- Add the rehydrated chiles and spices into a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
This recipe is perfect for leftover Birra de Res.
Another great idea is make the sauce ahead of time. It freezes extremely well and up to 6 months.
Or, keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

How to Cook the Beef
- Sear the meat.
- Place the meat in a slow cooker.
- Pour the sauce over the meat.
- Cook until fork tender.
No slow cooker? No problemo. Here are other cooking instructions.
Instant Pot Instructions:
- Press saute.
- Add oil and sear meat on all sides.
- Add sauce.
- Add lid and close vent.
- Press High Pressure. 45 minutes.
- Quick release the vent.
Stove Top Instructions:
- Seat the meat in a stock pot.
- Pour sauce and broth over the meat.
- Cook for 2 hours, or until fork tender.
These are the ingredients you will need to make the ramen soup.
You can use whatever ramen you prefer. However, Tapatio Ramen comes with a spicy package that has similar spices to the ones used to make the consommé broth.
FYI: The spice package will make your soup spicy.
- Open up the ramen container.
- Ladle the consommé broth over the dried ramen.
- Add the chopped up birria.
- Cover and let sit until noodles are soft. About 5 minutes.
Shred the beef before assembling your soup. That way your broth doesn’t get cold. You want the beef to fit your spoon.
The trick here to use really hot broth. If not, the noodles will not soften. After 5 minutes, if your noodles are not soften, add some boiling water.
Pro Tip:
Make the soup without the spice package. Add some of the spice package little by little until you reach the desired heat level.Personally, I only use half of the package because the soup turns out REALLY spicy.
Ideas for Toppings:
- Diced onions
- Chopped Cilantro
- Radishes
- Lime juice
Birria Ramen will be your new favorite soup. Comforting, satisfying, and DELICIOUS!
