Preheat the oven to 200°C. Trim the excess fat from the lamb steaks then lightly oil them and season to taste. Sear on both sides in a pan over a high heat then transfer to a baking dish.
Pour the wine and stock into the pan, then add the vinegar, honey, thyme and garlic. Cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, or until reduced and syrupy.
Pour the syrup over the steaks, then bake for 5 minutes, or until tender but still pink. Serve with the celeriac gratin and garnish with fresh watercress.
To make the celeriac gratin: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel and thinly slice the celeriac. Moisten with the olive oil and season to taste, then turn into an oiled baking pan.
Pour over the hot stock, brush with a little more olive oil, tuck in the thyme and bake for an hour, or until very tender and nicely browned.
Cook’s notes: Use half stock and half cream for the celeriac gratin, if you’re after something a little richer, or use a mix of celeriac and potato and add some grated Gruyère. Substitute ostrich steaks for lamb if you prefer.
