Kazakh style pizza with beef or horse meat
Unique Kazakh pizza recipe with beef and cilantro

Central Asian Beef & Cilantro Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
The traditions of Kazakh nomads come alive on this pizza. Boiled meat (be it beef or the more traditional horse meat) is the foundation of steppe cuisine. Here, we use a sour cream base instead of tomato, which complements the character of the meat, while fresh cilantro and red onion bring freshness to this hearty, rich dish.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut meat into cubes and boil in salted water until tender (or use leftover boiled meat). Drain and shred.

Tip: Juiciness remains between the fibers of boiled meat if we don't overbake it.
2 ✓

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Tip: Hot oven = crispy crust.
3 ✓

Mix sour cream with salt and pepper, spread on dough.

Tip: This 'white base' highlights the boiled meat flavor better than acidic tomato.
4 ✓

Scatter the boiled meat, thinly sliced red onion, and grated carrot on top.

Tip: The carrot sweetness goes well with meat, and the onion caramelizes while baking.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Cheese protects the meat from drying out.
6 ✓

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.

Tip: The fresh, citrusy flavor of cilantro cuts through the rich aftertaste.
