British Grilled Celeriac Steaks with Garlic Butter

Introduction

Grilled celeriac steaks are a fantastic vegetarian option that bring a rich, smoky flavor straight from the Arteflame grill. Thick-cut celeriac is infused with garlic butter, seared to perfection on the center grill grate, then finished on the flat cooktop for a beautifully caramelized crust and tender interior. This method ensures maximum flavor for an incredible grilling experience.

Ingredients

• 1 large celeriac, peeled and cut into 1-inch thick steaks
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
3. Light the paper and allow the fire to build up. In about 20 minutes, the grill will be ready for cooking.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter

1. Melt the butter in a bowl.
2. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 3: Season the Celeriac Steaks

1. Brush both sides of the celeriac steaks with the garlic butter mixture.
2. Let the flavors infuse while the grill heats up.

Step 4: Sear the Celeriac Steaks

1. Place the celeriac steaks onto the center grill grate for a high-temperature sear.
2. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.

Step 5: Finish Cooking on the Flat Cooktop

1. Move the seared celeriac to the flat cooktop away from the hottest area.
2. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until tender.

Step 6: Add Final Touches

1. Drizzle with lemon juice.
2. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top.
3. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Tips

• Ensure the grill is properly preheated before adding the celeriac steaks to achieve the best sear.
• For an added layer of flavor, use a smoked sea salt.
• Always remove the celeriac steaks from the grill when they are just tender, as they will continue to cook off the heat.

Variations

1. Spicy Celeriac Steaks: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
2. Herb-Infused Celeriac: Incorporate fresh rosemary and thyme into the butter for a fragrant flavor.
3. Cheesy Celeriac: Sprinkle grated Parmesan onto the steaks in the last few minutes of cooking.
4. Balsamic-Glazed Celeriac: Drizzle balsamic reduction before serving for a tangy twist.
5. Truffle Butter Celeriac: Mix truffle oil into the melted butter for a touch of luxury.

Conclusion

Grilled celeriac steaks are a beautiful, flavorful dish that showcases the precision of the Arteflame grill. Searing on the center grill grate locks in a rich, caramelized exterior, while finishing on the flat cooktop ensures a tender bite. This simple yet elegant dish is perfect for any occasion.
