Irish style beef & cheddar pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Although Irish cuisine is not known for pizza, this recipe marries the island nation's favourite ingredients – excellent quality beef and mature cheddar cheese – with Italian dough. The melting of cheddar is creamier and richer than that of mozzarella, which makes the topping richer, while parsley counterbalances the meatiness with fresh, grassy notes.

Instructions

1 ✓

Fry the finely chopped onion and garlic in the oil, then add the meat and fry until brown. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Pre-frying the meat (Maillard reaction) creates flavour compounds that also stand out on the pizza, and evaporates excess water.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough, spread with tomato sauce. Distribute the pre-fried meat ragu over it.

Tip: Let the meat cool a little before putting it on the dough, so the heat doesn't make the dough soggy before baking.
3 ✓

Grate the cheddar cheese over it, and sprinkle with the parmesan.

Tip: Mixing two types of cheese (rich cheddar + salty, hard parmesan) gives a more complex taste experience and better texture.
4 ✓

Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes, until the cheese starts to bubble and brown.

Tip: Cheddar tends to separate (oil out) if you bake it too long, so watch the oven.
5 ✓

Before serving, sprinkle with the fresh, chopped parsley.

Tip: Parsley essential oils are heat sensitive, so it should only go on the dish at the end.

Recipe FAQ

What kind of cheddar should I use?
A medium mature cheddar is best, because it already has character but still melts well.
Should I put the meat on the pizza raw?
Never! During the pizza baking time, minced meat would not cook through properly and would release a lot of water. Always pre-fry it.
