Tried your marinade using some 3/4" thick whitetail steaks but with American adjustments: no juniper berries, added a touch of garlic and cumin. Used peanut oil and seared over close, glowing hickory coals then moved to lesser heat for a few minutes on each side until medium rare. Excellent feast. You're right. No oxidation of the meat. It retained it's color for an entire day of soaking in the fridge. Thanks for the tip.~Muir
