  • To prepare the marinade sauce: Place the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar in the blender, add the pepper, broth, salt, and half of the bunch of herbs. Blend until fully integrated.
  • Place the medallions in a baking dish or container with a lid to marinate. Pour the blended sauce over them and ensure they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours in advance.
  • In a separate skillet, heat a splash of olive oil with butter and when very hot, add the onion and garlic, stirring until caramelized, and then add the medallions one by one to sear them. Set aside the marinade sauce.
  • Sear the steaks on one side and then the other and place them in a baking dish. Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
  • In the remaining juice from the skillet, while continuing to heat, add the marinade sauce, the rest of the herbs, and the shot of tequila. If preferred, you can add more of the marinade ingredients to increase the amount of sauce.
  • Cook on low heat until it boils.
  • Pour the sauce over the medallions and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove and serve.
