Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat and prep

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C. Take the roast out of the fridge, season it with salt and pepper, then rub it with the dried thyme (1/2 tsp).

  2. Brown the roast

    Heat the olive oil (1 tbsp) in the skillet over high heat and brown the roast on all sides.

  3. Into the oven

    Put the skillet in the oven for about 40 min, until it hits 65 °C to 70 °C inside, flipping the roast halfway through. You're aiming for a center with no pink.

  4. Cook the celery root

    Peel the celery root (300 g) and cut it into 2 cm cubes. Drop it into a saucepan of salted boiling water and cook until a knife slides in with no resistance.

    Tip · Drain the celery root for a good long while, or the mash turns runny; put it back over low heat for 1 min to cook off the leftover water.

  5. Prep the apples

    While the celery root cooks, peel the 2 apples, remove the seeds and cut them into wedges.

  6. Add the apples

    Pull the skillet out of the oven after 20 min, flip the roast, add the apples around it with 10 g of butter (half of the 20 g), then put it back in for the remaining 20 min.

  7. Mash

    Drain the celery root well, put it back in the saucepan and mash it with the remaining 10 g of butter and the crème fraîche (10 cl). Add pepper, and salt if needed.

  8. Rest and serve

    Take out the roast and cover it with foil for 5 min, then slice it. Serve with the mash and apples.

    Tip · Slice the roast across the grain after resting, the meat stays juicier that way.
