Make this steakhouse-quality creamy horseradish sauce in just five minutes. This zesty, tangy condiment is the best sauce for prime rib, roast beef, or steak, delivering bold flavor without the wait.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and heavy cream. Whisk them together until smooth.
  2. Add the drained prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice to the cream mixture.
  3. Stir everything together until the sauce is fully combined and creamy.
  4. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  6. Serve this tangy roast beef topping with your prime rib or steak.

Notes

  • Drain the prepared horseradish thoroughly. Excess liquid makes the sauce watery.
  • For a stronger flavor, use fresh horseradish root instead of prepared, grating about 2 tablespoons.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash more heavy cream.
