Make this zesty, creamy horseradish sauce at home. It is the perfect complement to prime rib, roast beef, or steak.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, heavy cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. If using, fold in the fresh chives.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve cold alongside prime rib, roast beef, or your favorite steak.

Notes

  • For a sharper flavor, use less heavy cream or increase the amount of prepared horseradish slightly.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of milk or water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • This sauce tastes best when made a few hours ahead of serving.
