Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Sear them over medium-high heat in a skillet until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker with beef broth and cook on low for 6-8 hours until fork-tender.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in heavy cream and smoked gouda until melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread smoked gouda cream sauce over the dough, leaving a small crust. Top generously with shredded short ribs and any additional toppings.
  4. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
  5. Remove the pizza from the oven, let cool briefly, then garnish with fresh herbs. Slice and serve warm.
