Celeriac has a meaty texture and neutral flavor, which makes it ideal for cutting into steaks that absorb your favorite seasonings. In this recipe, the steaks are brushed in lime juice and sprinkled with savory Southwest spices for a plant-based carne asada plate. Each perfectly golden medallion is laid on a bed of hearty quinoa that’s studded with beans, red onion, and jalapeño to create the perfect blend of Tex-Mex ingredients. Orange does double duty in this satisfying recipe: First, by infusing the entire dish with a citrus vinaigrette, and second by topping the quinoa base with juicy slices to contrast the medley of spicy flavors traditional carne asada is known for. Top each serving with fresh cilantro and a dash of hot sauce if you like extra heat!
