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.

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.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Flank Steak: Choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the Steak: Marinating the flank steak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the Steak Over High Heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can quickly sear and caramelize. This will create a delicious crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the Steak Rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the Steak Against the Grain: When slicing the steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.

Conclusion:

Sobrebarriga a la Brasa, or Colombian-style grilled flank steak, is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful marinade and then grilled over high heat until it is perfectly cooked. The steak is then served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, and vegetables. Sobrebarriga a la Brasa is a great way to enjoy a delicious and authentic Colombian meal.
