Instructions
Creating Short Rib Pizza with Smoked Gouda Cream Sauce involves several steps, but following these instructions will lead you to a mouthwatering result:
1. Brown the Short Ribs: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then brown them on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Deglaze the Pot: Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Braise the Short Ribs: Return the short ribs to the pot. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and additional salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cover. Simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and easily shredded.
5. Prepare the Cream Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add the heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in the smoked gouda cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
7. Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the pizza crust to your desired thickness. Spread a layer of the gouda cream sauce over the crust. Shred the braised short ribs and distribute evenly over the sauce.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle additional smoked gouda cheese on top of the short ribs.
9. Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Garnish and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
