Description
This short rib pizza is a gourmet pizza-night upgrade with tender braised beef short ribs, a rich smoked gouda cream sauce base, and a crispy crust finished with melty mozzarella and red onion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless beef short ribs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda
- 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- Fresh thyme or parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven over medium heat, heat olive oil and sear short ribs on all sides. Remove. Sauté onion and garlic until soft, then return meat and add beef broth. Cover and simmer 1.5–2 hours until very tender. Shred and set aside.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour to form a roux. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in smoked gouda until melted. Season to taste.
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out dough. Spread gouda cream sauce evenly, then top with shredded short rib, red onion, and mozzarella.
- Bake on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Slice and serve hot.
