Birria de Res FÁCIL | La Capital - Summary

Summary

The video is a step-by-step guide on how to prepare a traditional Mexican dish known as "Bible" or "birria". The process starts with the preparation of a tomato marinade, which includes 10 tomatoes, a white onion, 10-12 cloves of garlic, a ripe tomato, and various spices including allspice, black or castile pepper, cumin powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and a stick of cinnamon. The marinade is mixed for about five minutes, then vinegar and water are added. The mixture is left to simmer for another five to ten minutes.

Next, the marinade is blended with the meat (in this case, goat or beef ribs) and cooked slowly on low heat. After two and a half hours, the meat is removed and given a light bite. The marinade is then strained, and the fat is reserved for later use.

For the sauce, a mixture of chile de arbol, pasilla chiles, tomatillos, garlic, and onion is prepared and blended. The sauce is then strained, and the fat is removed.

The meat is reheated on a comal, and the tacos are prepared, topped with cheese and the reserved fat. The tacos are served with the tomatillo sauce on the side. The dish is described as rich in flavor and satisfying, with the fat adding a unique taste.
