This celeriac steak is the easiest thing to make ever, but boy, oh boy, absolutely stunning. It is a delicious, hearty, meaty steak which goes perfectly with the tangy pomegranate-cilantro relish. Celeriac steak makes a lovely light vegan dinner with a side salad, and the leftover steaks are delightful cold in a sandwich too. This dish looks also unbelievable pretty, so it’s a great recipe for the holidays. Yay, an other recipe which is perfect for Christmas!
This summer was the first time I tried celery root roasted, in fact I have only eaten celeriac raw in salads or as pasta before. We had a lovely barbecue with my boyfriend’s dad and had yummy salads and dips and celeriac slices coated in breadcrumbs to grill. We used mustard to substitute eggs and I had to realise, that combination (especially roasted) is totally breathtaking! Since that I love to make roasted celeriac or celeriac steaks, sometimes with breadcrumbs sometimes simply without that. So today I simply had to share this awesomeness with you, because I know that you will love it too. Especially if you are still looking for an easy Christmas dinner recipe idea.

Thank you, Angie!
I have never had celeriac soup, but I bet that’s delicious too!
An unbelievably beautiful vego main meal! Never thought of using celeriac in this way. x
Thank you, Hannah!
Looks and sounds good! I’ve never cooked celeriac so to be honest I’m not sure what it tastes like, but after seeing this I definitely want to give it a try 😀
Thanks, Nadia!
I am so into roasted and cooked celeriac now, it has a totally new and absolutely delicious taste that way 🙂
This looks just incredible. I was looking for something do with the celeriac sitting in my cupboard!
Thank you, Paul 🙂
Beautiful! I’ve never thought to use celeriac this way. Thanks for the great recipe, Evi!
Thank you, Linda!
What a lovely looking recipe, Evi! I’ve been recently branching out and eating more seasonal root vegetables and this is one recipe I’ll definitely have to try. The pom seeds on top too make it so festive as well!

Thank you, Kate 🙂
Oh wow, this steak looks fantastic! I love celeriac steaks
Thanks, Josefine! 🙂
I wanted to roast celeriac for a long time, but never got to it, always a bit afraid I might not like it in the end. I definitely have to try, your picture look so yummy!
I felt the exact same way, that’s why I haven’t tried it for such a long time. Actually I was sure I wouldn’t like it 😀
Luckily I was ‘forced’ to try it so I could realise it’s so good 🙂
I made this today and my kids loved it! What a great recipe
I am so happy to hear that 🙂
Hi Evi,
Can I substitute msutard?
Hi,
You can just simply leave it out. Celeriac steak is also delicious with a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and your favourite spices.
This is very delicious. I served it with spicy yoghurt sauce and fries 🙂
Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks, Emeke 🙂
Really simple and tasty recipe I recommend you try it
Thanks, Sharon 🙂
Looks beautiful and delicious, I’m going to try it!
Let me know how you liked it, Brenda 🙂
Absolutely loved this simple celeriac steak. The marinade complements the celeriac perfectly.
Thanks for the great review, Linda! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
Fantastic recopie ! Had no pomegranate so used small black grapes cut in half instead. Just delicious… Thank you!
I’m glad you liked it, Alison!
Using grapes is such a cool idea, definitely trying it. Thanks for the tip 🙂
There are no words to describe how delicious this is. Thanks you so much for sharing!
I’m so happy you liked this 🙂
I cooked it in the microwave. Much quicker and vretains flavour. Also, I don’t peel it, just scrub.
That’s a great idea with the microwave, definitely trying it, thanks 🙂
