Start by making salsa matcha with peanuts and garlic.

Heat oil in a pot over medium heat and add chopped garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until brown.

Add crushed red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and crushed peanuts to the garlic and stir.

Set the salsa matcha aside to cool.

Prepare street corn guacamole with grilled corn and avocado.

Grill the corn after microwaving it for 5 minutes to soften it.

Season steak with neutral oil, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then grill.

Toast ancho and guillo chilies in a dry pan for about a minute to enhance flavor.

Simmer the toasted chilies in broth for 5 minutes to infuse flavor.

Blend the chilies with garlic, coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and onion.

Use deli roasted chicken as a shortcut for birria, adding it to the blended sauce to soak up flavor.
