The first part of this cook involves cooking low and slow for 4 hours. Preheat your pizza oven to around 150˚C and keep it stoked every hour or so with embers that you maintain a low temperature.
Rub your beef with oil, salt and pepper and sear on all sides first to brown the meat. Then place in a casserole dish with shallots, garlic, sage and beer. Cover and roast for 4 hours at around 150˚C until the meat is tender and soft.
Then when the beef is cool enough to handle, strip from the ribs and shred. Heat up your pizza oven to 250-300˚C and in a skillet reduce the gravy until you have a moist pulled beef texture. Then cook your gnocchi in boiling water for 3-4 mins, strain and add to a heavy-duty frying pan with olive oil, kale and chilli.
Top with the beef rib and beer gravy and finish with grated horseradish. Bake on a high heat in the pizza oven for 4-5 mins and serve.
