Sobrebarriga is a particular cut of beef thats Spanish name literally translates to "over the belly" in English. The most comparable cut of meat that I've found here in the United States is flank steak. There are many different traditional Colombian dishes that use this cut of meat such as, Carne Desmechada (Colombian-Style Shredded Beef), Sobrebarriga Sudada (Stewed Flank Steak), Sobrebarriga en Salsa (Flank Steak in Creole Sauce), and this Sobrebarriga al Horno (Colombian-Style Baked Flank Steak). This particular dish is very popular in the capital of the country, Bogotá, and is usually served with papas chorriadas and white rice on the side.
The traditional way to make Sobrebarriga al Horno is to cook the flank steak in water with vegetables and Colombian spices, then the piece of beef is top with breadcrumbs and baked in the oven. Cooking the flank steak this way helps the meat to become very tender and flavorful.
Sobrebarriga al Horno is one of the beef dishes I often make at home. It’s a simple Colombian dish but the taste and texture is absolutely delicious. Serve this dish with a side of papas chorriadas for a truly homey Colombian meal.
Buen provecho!

What an unusual dish. Being used to eating medium-rare I am surprised by your saying the meat is tender when fully cooked. But the beer must help. Totally worth a try to prove me wrong lol.

In the Ingredients you call for Alinos Sauce but there is no indication of what that it is and how to make it. In the search área I typed Alinos Sauce but gave me no results.

Aliño or Aliños, means condiments. Salt, Minced Onion, Rosemary Garlic blend, Black pepper. Try not to add too much.

Puedo comentar que el flanco steak de Estados Unidos , esta si es una carne tierna pero muy magra , que. Es fabulosa comiéndola recién preparada porque después se vuelve dura y seca ; comparada con la sobrebrriga nuestra , realmente no se parece en NADA a la colombiana . Feliz día
