Venison

Season the meat with salt and pepper. Sear over high heat browning lightly. Finish cooking in the oven at 130°C until the internal temperature is 54 °C. 

 

Celeriac Mousse

Place the celeriac in the milk and add water to cover. Cook until tender. Drain and blend with the crème fraîche until it has a creamy consistency. Season to taste with champagne vinegar and salt.

 

Celery

Cook the celery sticks in mineral water in order to preserve their colour.

 

Marinade

Marinate the celery sticks in a mixture of the parsley, thyme, mustard seeds and olive oil.

 

Noilly Prat Reduction

Bring the Noilly Prat to the boil and reduce it by half.

 

Assembly

Place a slice of lardo on each steak. Brush with the same marinade as for the celery. On each plate, place a spoonful of the celeriac purée, a stick of celery and a venison steak. Drizzle with a few drops of passion fruit juice and the Noilly Prat reduction.
