Make a simple, tangy, and creamy horseradish sauce perfect for serving with prime rib, roast beef, or steak.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine the sour cream and heavy cream in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add the drained prepared horseradish, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar to the cream mixture.
  3. Stir all ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and the sauce is uniform.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed; add more horseradish for extra spice or more salt for flavor.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Notes

  • Drain the prepared horseradish well; excess liquid will make your sauce too thin.
  • For a spicier sauce, use freshly grated horseradish instead of prepared, but start with a smaller amount.
  • This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
