Irish Beef and Cheddar Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
While Ireland isn't known for pizza, this recipe marries the island's favorite ingredients—high-quality beef and mature cheddar—with Italian dough. Cheddar melts creamier and richer than mozzarella, while parsley adds fresh, grassy notes to balance the meatiness.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in oil, then add the beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Browning the meat (Maillard reaction) creates flavors that stand out on the pizza and evaporates excess water.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and spread with tomato sauce. Distribute the cooked meat mixture over it.

Tip: Let the meat cool slightly before topping the dough so it doesn't get soggy before baking.
3 ✓

Top with shredded cheddar and parmesan.

Tip: Mixing fatty cheddar with salty, hard parmesan gives a complex flavor and better texture.
4 ✓

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes until the cheese bubbles and browns.

Tip: Cheddar can separate if overcooked, so keep an eye on the oven.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Tip: Parsley is heat-sensitive, so add it only at the very end.

Recipe FAQ

What kind of cheddar should I use?
A medium or mature cheddar is best as it has character but still melts well.
Can I put raw meat on the pizza?
Never! Ground meat won't cook through properly in the pizza's baking time and will release too much water. Always brown it first.
