Instructions

Season cubed chuck roast with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Sear beef over medium-high heat until browned on all sides; set aside.
In a Dutch oven, char ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, chipotle chiles, onion, tomatoes, and garlic.
Add water and simmer briefly, then blend until smooth to create chile paste.
Return beef to the pot and add chile paste, beef broth, oregano, black pepper, sea salt, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaves.
Cover and simmer on low heat until beef is fork-tender, skimming excess fat.
Remove beef, discard bay leaves and cinnamon sticks, strain broth to make consommé, and shred beef.
Soft-boil eggs, cool in ice bath, peel, and slice.
Cook ramen noodles and reserve some noodle water.
Mix ramen seasoning with mayonnaise, egg yolks, minced garlic, and hot noodle water until creamy.
Toss noodles in the sauce until fully coated.
Top ramen with shredded birria beef, soft-boiled eggs, cilantro, and red onion.
Serve hot with extra consommé if desired.

Notes

Adjust spice level by reducing chipotle chiles.

Straining the consommé gives a smoother ramen broth.

Birria can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor.

Prepare noodles fresh for best texture.
