If you visit a farmers' market, says quality-food campaigner Henrietta Green, pick up some venison and try this delicious autumnal dish

Ingredients

Serves: 4 Preparation: 80 Total Time: 80min

Place the venison steaks in a shallow glass dish. To make a marinade, combine the oil, vinegar, juniper berries, bay leaves, sea salt and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well and then pour over the steaks. Cover and leave to marinade in the refrigerator for a minimum of hour, longer if possible.
Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Remove the steaks from the marinade, pat them dry and drop them on to the heated pan. Leave for a couple of minutes to sear, then, using a pair of tongs, turn them degrees to make diamond-shaped griddle marks and grill for a further couple of minutes, brushing with the marinade. Turn over the steak and repeat the process. If you like your meat well done, add a couple of extra minutes each side to the grilling time.
