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

when it comes to slow cooker recipes bira is as good as it gets this is my low calorie recipe that packs 28 g of protein per serving and only 6 G of fat and the best part is this is part of my slow cooker meal prep Series so it makes 16 servings that you can meal prep Store Frozen and reheat in less than 5 minutes to make high protein meals all throughout the week let me show to make it to start we’re going to fry up some onions and avocado oil until Brown add in some minced garlic then you’re going to add in a mixture of guo and acho chilies and toast those for a couple minutes pour over beef bone broth and a little bit of water bring that up to a boil and let that simmer for 2 to 3 minutes transfer your chilies to a blender and pour over all the liquid add in some spices red enchilada sauce apple cider vinegar and cilantro stems give that a blend until completely smooth for the meat I’m using top surlin trim all the exterior fat to keep this as lean as we can and I like to Salt the exterior of each piece and I’d recommend giving it a quick sear but for the video I just threw it straight in the crock pot and it came out great and just let that cook all day until it’s perfectly tender meal prep instructions are shown on screen and then you’re good to go enjoy [Music]
