Step 1
Combine tomatillos, chile, garlic, cilantro, onion, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season salsa verde with salt and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes to let flavors come together.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°. Slice celery root into four 1″-thick slices; season liberally with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high and cook celery root steaks until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast celery root until tender (a paring knife should easily pierce the center), 8–10 minutes.
Step 3
Serve celery root steaks with salsa verde spooned over.
