  1. Method:
  2. Gear: A steamer pot with basket or a large stock pot with steamer rack.
  3. Fill pot with 15 cups of water for 3 Lbs. of meat.
  4. Make first layer of meat in the basket/rack.
  5. Add a whole sliced onion.
  6. Add half of your herbs: marjoram, thyme, rosemary and garlic.
  7. Add some salt on this layer unless you salted your meat as I explained above.
  8. Make your next layer of meat to the rack/steamer.
  9. Add the second sliced onion and the rest of your herbs.
  10. Cook this meat on medium for between 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I let mine steam for 2 1/2 hours and it was delicious!
  11. When your meat is done remove it from the pot and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
  12. Now shred your meat and set aside for later.
  13. Save the meat broth as well to be mixed with the tomato/chili sauce.
  14. Tomato/Chili Sauce:
  15. You will need another large sauce pan or sauce pot for this sauce.
  16. In your large sauce pot add the Roma tomatoes and the dried chili peppers.
  17. Cover with just enough water to cover the ingredients in the pot.
  18. Bring to boil.
  19. Boil for 15 minutes or until the chilies and the tomatoes are soft.
  20. Now take your tomato/chili mixture and blend to a puree in small batched in a blender for food processor. You want to make sure that you puree enough so that you don’t end up with large chili skin pieces in your Birria. So if you have to you can strain the tomato/chili mixture after blending if you need to!
  21. Now in a large stock pot or sauce pot combine the beef stock and tomato/chili sauce.
  22. Add one beef bouillon cube and your Worcestershire sauce and stir.
  23. Now cook this broth on medium for another 2o minutes or so to get it to the boil.
  24. Once boiled taste and adjust the flavor with another bouillon cube or salt and dried herbs as needed.
  25. Note: At this point you can either opt to place the meat into the broth and cook for 5 to 10 minutes just to heat up the meat or like Sandy’s family does and I did in my video presentation, I kept the meat warm in the oven and the broth simmering on the stove top.
