Caramelized Onions

Instructions

1
Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear it in a hot pot (heat level 8/9) for 2–3 minutes per side until dark brown and caramelized. Remove and set aside this step builds deep flavor.
2
Add the tomatoes and onions to the same pot and let them char slightly. Then add guajillo, ancho, árbol, chipotle, and adobo sauce. Let the chilis toast gently, this releases their oils and boosts flavor.
3
Return the beef to the pot. Add Vegeta (or beef bouillon), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pour in 600 ml water, stir, then add the remaining 400 ml. Mix everything together until well combined.
4
Simmer on low (level 3/9) for 4 hours. The beef becomes fall-apart tender and the consommé develops its deep birria flavor.
5
Remove all vegetables and chilis. Blend them with 1–2 ladles of consommé until smooth and silky. Pour the mixture back into the pot and stir. Now add 1 teaspoon of 70% chocolate, they melt instantly and make the consommé deeper, smoother, and more balanced.
6
Remove the beef, shred it with two forks, and add five ladles of consommé to keep it juicy, saucy, and rich. This step is essential for slider-style birria.
7
Heat oil in a pan, add sliced onions, and cook on medium until softened. Add 1 tbsp honey and cook until golden, sticky, and caramelized. Set aside.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Toast Your Chiles First 🌶️
    Lightly toast the guajillo and árbol chiles in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before soaking to intensify their flavors and release their essential oils for a richer, more complex birria consomé.
  • Low and Slow Caramelization 🧅
    Cook your onions on medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, then finish with a drizzle of honey in the last 2 minutes for deep caramelization without burning.
  • Reserve Your Consomé Strategically 🍲
    Save the flavorful birria cooking liquid separately before shredding the meat, then use it for dipping and to keep the shredded beef moist during assembly instead of letting it dry out.
  • Toast Slider Buns Buttered 🥖
    Brush your slider buns lightly with oil and toast them cut-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden—this creates a barrier that prevents sogginess from the consomé while adding crucial textural contrast.
  • Layer Cheese While Meat is Hot 🧀
    Place melting cheese directly on the hot shredded beef just before assembling to ensure it melts perfectly from residual heat, creating a cohesive, creamy texture that binds all ingredients together.
