Sobrebarriga (Colombian Flank Steak) image

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.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs flank steaks, trimmed of all fat
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
fresh ground pepper
3 teaspoons vegetable oil (for marinade)
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 small tomatoes
3 teaspoons oil (for frying)
2 cups water
12 ounces beer
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Marinate the meat overnight with the salt, pepper, vegetable oil, onions, celery, garlic, and tomatoes.
  • The next day, heat 3 tsp oil over high heat in a heavy Dutch oven and add the steak; brown it quickly on all sides without burning.
  • Transfer the steak to a plate and sauté the vegetables until they are soft but not brown.
  • Return the meat to the Dutch oven. Pour in the water and beer and bring to a boil.
  • Cover the Dutch oven and cook slowly for about two hours until the meat is tender. The last hour of cooking add the final ½ tsp of salt and the 1 tsp of ground cumin.
  • Finally remove the flank steak and put on an oven-proof plate. Top with onions, etc., and brown under the broiler.

I'm not sure what all the negative comments are about. I've made this recipe several times and it's always been delicious. The flank steak is always tender and flavorful, and the marinade is perfect.

I'm Colombian and I can tell you that this recipe is not even close to the real thing. The flavors are all wrong.

This recipe is not authentic Colombian sobrebarriga. The real dish uses different spices and is cooked in a different way.

I've tried this recipe a few times and it's always been a disappointment. The flank steak is always tough and the marinade doesn't seem to do much.

I followed the recipe exactly and the flank steak turned out tough and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
