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 meat: Flank steak is a flavorful and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for this dish. It is important to choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. The marinade in this recipe is made with a combination of garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, lime juice, and olive oil. You can also add other spices or herbs to your marinade, such as chili powder, coriander, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it is seared on the outside and remains tender on the inside. You can cook the steak in a grill pan, a skillet, or on an outdoor grill.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the juices to redistribute and makes the steak more tender.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Sobrebarriga is traditionally served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, avocado, and plantains. You can also serve it with your favorite vegetables or salad.
