Description
Horseradish Sauce is a creamy, tangy, bold homemade sauce made with prepared horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. This easy horseradish sauce recipe is perfect for roast beef, prime rib, steak sandwiches, pork tenderloin, and roasted potatoes when you want a sharp, flavorful finishing touch.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 to 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
2. Add the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Mix well until the sauce is fully combined and creamy.
4. Taste and adjust by adding more horseradish for a stronger flavor or more sour cream for a milder sauce.
5. Stir in the chopped chives if using.
6. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
7. Serve chilled with roast beef, prime rib, steak sandwiches, pork, or roasted potatoes.
Notes
This sauce gets stronger as it chills, so start with less horseradish if you prefer a milder flavor.
For the smoothest texture, stir everything thoroughly before refrigerating.
Fresh chives are optional, but they add a nice color and a light onion flavor that works beautifully here.
