Get the Fresh Beef \u2018Nduja Sausage Recipe<\/h1>\n

This is a major flavorful way to spice up beef on a pizza. I fully admit that this is an appropriation of the iconic Calabrian pork sausage recipe that is smoked and fermented but I don\u2019t have the time, (and too much ground beef) to make the real deal. I\u2019ve found that adding the gochujang and holding the sausage to cure under refrigeration mimics that wonderful fermented \u201ctang\u201d and, along with the spice and sweetness of the red peppers, makes for a great pizza topping. Perfect with Gruyere, Gouda, Kashaval, Comte and even mild blue cheeses.<\/p>\n
