This Colombian dish has the true flavors of the area. For some reason butchers here in the U.S.of A. have quit cutting Flank Steak and are pushing Sirloin, etc (A more expensive cut of meat). When i can't find the flank steak, I will use the Skirt Steak intended for use with fajitas.

I ate this before I knew how it was made and I never would have guessed that it was a sort of pot-roasted grilled flank steak. It's always served with Aji (I have a recipe for this hot sauce -- #170433) on the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak is a flavorful and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for this recipe. Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has good marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. The recipe includes a simple marinade made with garlic, cumin, oregano, and lime juice. You can also use a store-bought marinade if you prefer.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside and keep the inside tender. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak and makes it more tender.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Sobrebarriga is traditionally served with rice, beans, and plantains. You can also serve it with other sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Sobrebarriga is a delicious and easy-to-make Colombian dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, cumin, oregano, and lime juice, then cooked over high heat until tender and juicy. Serve the steak with your favorite sides and enjoy!
