Slow Cooker Birria

Slow cooker birria made with guajillo and ancho chiles, beef bone broth, and lean top sirloin - set it, forget it, and come back to the most versatile protein you'll meal prep all summer. Quesabirria tacos, birria loaded fries, burrito bowls - the possibilities are endless. Makes 16 servings at 175 calories and 28g of protein each!

Ingredients:
2 onions, roughly chopped
10 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
20g avocado oil (~1.5 tablespoons)

10 guajillo chiles
3 ancho chiles
De-stemmed & de-seeded

32oz beef bone broth (896ml)
~1 cup of water

1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

90ml apple cider vinegar (6 tblspns)
240ml red enchilada sauce (~1 cup)
Handful of cilantro stems

64oz top sirloin, trimmed of all exterior fat (can also use London broil, flank steak, or any other lean cut of steak)

3 bay leaves

Cook on Low:
7-8 hours

Additional notes:
- Steak Nutrition Facts: I use the USDA FoodData Central database for macros - this source was specifically “Beef, Top Sirloin, Separable Lean Only, Trimmed to 1/8” Fat, all grades, raw” - macros for this source (per 4oz): 150 Cals, 25g Protein, 4.6g Fat. If you buy packaged sirloin it’s very likely going to show much higher fat - just trim all exterior fat and any large chunks of fat within the meat (normal marbling is fine)

- While I do recommend searing the steak for best flavor, this still came out as one of the best tasting birria’s I’ve ever had without searing in the video. If you have time/energy, sear, if not, don’t worry about it

- I recommend storing each serving frozen - to reheat, simply add 1/4 cup of water and microwave for ~4 minutes
