Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish (drained if very wet)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar to the bowl. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Stir again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Taste the creamy horseradish sauce. If you want more heat, add another teaspoon of horseradish. If you want more tang, add a few drops of vinegar.
- Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve this quick creamy steak sauce alongside your favorite roast beef or prime rib.
Notes
- For an ‘Ina Garten style sauce’ flavor, use high-quality, full-fat sour cream.
- If you are making this ahead of time for a holiday dinner, prepare it up to 2 days in advance. The flavor deepens as it sits.
- Drain excess liquid from the jarred horseradish before adding it to prevent the sauce from becoming too thin.
