Birria is a Mexican stew meat that features savory Mexican spices and is cooked low and slow until the meat is meltingly tender.

October 25, 2025

Smithfield Smoke'NFast, the premier provider of fully cooked, smoked meats for barbecue and beyond, expands its authentic barbecue lineup with three trending menu items: Shredded Beef Birria, Chopped Beef Brisket and Pork Shoulder Burnt Ends. 

The new products add to the brand's innovative collection of scratch-quality meats that enable any foodservice operator to feel like an authentic barbecue joint or incorporate versatile smokehouse flavor into global dishes without requiring additional equipment or labor.

  • Shredded Beef Birria – Named the "hottest trend in tacos" by Nation's Restaurant News, Birria is a Mexican stew meat that features savory Mexican spices and is cooked low and slow until the meat is meltingly tender. Perfect for Quesabirria Tacos, or served simply in a bowl with pickled onions, queso fresco, cilantro, Smoke'NFast Birria adds effortless global flavor.
  • Chopped Beef Brisket – Made from premium beef brisket, slow-smoked to perfection for deep, rich barbecue flavor, Smoke'NFast Chopped Beef Brisket is juicy, tender and packed with bold, smoky goodness. Whether served as a classic brisket sandwich, loaded onto nachos or piled high in a BBQ bowl, this ready-to-use brisket makes menu innovation effortless.
  • Pork Shoulder Burnt Ends – Crafted from tender, slow smoked pork shoulder and expertly caramelized for deep, savory flavor in every bite, Smoke'NFast Pork Shoulder Burnt Ends are perfect for sandwiches, sliders, loaded fries, BBQ platters or tacos. Expect rich, authentic barbecue flavor with the convenience and consistency foodservice operations demand.

"We put our heart into delivering premium, flavorful meats that not only reduce labor and simplify prep, but truly impress guests and create memorable dining experiences," said Edward Wayda, marketing director at Smithfield Culinary. "As demand grows for bold, global flavors and operator-friendly solutions, we're committed to evolving our Smoke'NFast line with relevant, ready-to-use offerings that help kitchens run smoothly and create mouthwatering smokehouse-inspired dishes."

The Smoke'NFast lineup includes legendary barbecue favorites like ribs, pulled pork and brisket, as well as global specialties, including carnitas, barbacoa and osso buco.
