Stuffed with spicy, savory birria and consommé broth instead of a standard filling, this dumpling recipe brings the heat!
Birria and dumplings has become a viral combination online, and honestly, the two just make perfect sense together. The rich, savory birria meat and the warm, spicy consommé broth can fit into a dumpling wrapper and create a compact experience full of flavor. This version adds chilled consommé for a burst of broth, but keeps the folding technique simple for those craving the flavors at home. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't turn these into the iconic xiaolongbao shape if you don't want to! Just make sure to keep a bottle of Lee Kum Kee Cilantro Lime Flavored Sriracha Sauce on the side - it's spicy, citrusy, and zingy flavor makes it the perfect dipping sauce for these dumplings!
Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Meanwhile, soak the guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 10 minutes until softened.
Blend the softened chiles with Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and ½ cup beef broth until smooth.
Pour the chile mixture into the pot with the beef and add the remaining beef broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook at 325°F for 3 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shreds. Transfer the beef to a bowl and shred using two forks.
