Ingredients

Scale

Short Ribs

  • 2 lbs short ribs

Pizza Dough

  • 1 lb pizza dough

Smoked Gouda Cream Sauce

  • 2 cups shredded smoked gouda cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Short Ribs: Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned. Transfer the seared ribs to a slow cooker, add your choice of broth to cover partially, and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreddable. Once cooked, shred the meat and set aside.
  2. Make the Smoked Gouda Cream Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and gradually stir in the shredded smoked gouda cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Pizza Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring an even round shape. Transfer the dough carefully to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Pizza: Evenly spread a generous layer of the smoked gouda cream sauce over the surface of the rolled-out dough. Distribute the shredded short rib meat evenly on top, adding any optional vegetables or toppings as desired at this stage.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake the assembled pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set before slicing.

Notes

  • Use high-quality short ribs and smoked gouda cheese for the best flavor and richness.
  • Slow cooking the short ribs is essential for tender, flavorful meat that pairs well with the creamy sauce.
  • Make sure to fully preheat your oven to get a crispy and well-cooked crust.
  • Feel free to add your favorite toppings like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or jalapeños for more flavor variety.
  • Allow the pizza to rest after baking to let the sauce set and make slicing easier.
