Sobrebarriga en Salsa: Colombia's Meltingly Tender Flank Steak
Sobrebarriga en Salsa: Colombia's Meltingly Tender Flank Steak
Sobrebarriga is the crowning glory of Colombian Andean cuisine, originating from the high plateaus of Bogotá and Boyacá. Revered in traditional Colombian homes, this prized cut of beef flank requires great patience and technique: hours of gentle braising that break down connective tissues into succulent, fork-tender perfection.
At Donde La Tía, our flank steak is marinated in fresh garlic, ground cumin, and mountain herbs before simmering for over four hours. It is then smothered in our signature hogao sauce made from vine-ripened tomatoes, sweet scallions, and herbs, served alongside tender boiled cassava (yuca), steamed potatoes, and white rice.

The 4 Pillars of Colombian Home Cooking
Authentic homemade Colombian cooking cannot be rushed: it is rooted in wholesome raw ingredients, hours of gentle simmering, and loving family recipes passed down across generations.
Authentic Criollo Hogao
Vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh scallions, crushed garlic, and ground cumin reduced over gentle heat. It is the signature sofrito that breathes flavor into beans, stews, and meats.
Whole Corn Milled Daily
No industrial premixes. We cook whole corn kernels, mill them in-house, and hand-shape every arepa and empanada for a crisp golden exterior and fluffy warm interior.
Slow Heat & Pure Patience
Our braised meats (Sobrebarriga flank steak, beef tongue, and Sancocho) simmer for hours in rich natural broths until fork-tender and succulent.
Noble Ingredients & Tropical Freshness
Sweet caramelized ripe plantains, cassava root (yuca), creamy avocados, and 100% natural pulps of passion fruit, lulo, soursop, and mango from the Andes.
