    Horseradish Sauce

    There is nothing like horseradish sauce for beef. Creamy and delicious, this easy horseradish sauce recipe pairs perfectly with beef recipes of all kinds. The best part about it is how quickly and simply it comes together: it only takes 5 minutes to whip it up using a handful of easy ingredients!

    My family loves this recipe, and I know I, for one, cannot resist horseradish sauce for steak, pot roast, beef tenderloin, and prime rib... the list goes on. I'll admit, sometimes I cook up beef for dinner just to enjoy it with creamy horseradish sauce!

    That's why I guarantee you're going to love this easy sauce recipe as much as I do. Pair it with my Au Jus for Prime Rib, and you will have the most tender, flavorful rib roast of your life.

    Awesome on prime rib and steak sandwiches!

    Horseradish Sauce FAQs

    What is horseradish sauce made from?

    My recipe for horseradish sauce uses sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chopped chives, salt and pepper, and Tabasco sauce (optional). Personally, I love the kick Tabasco sauce adds!

    Why do you put horseradish on prime rib?

    Horseradish pairs well with richer cuts of beef, such as prime rib, as it cuts through the rich flavor to give the beef a lighter taste. This makes it a great choice for prime rib and roast beef sandwiches, though it also pairs well with steak, beef tenderloin, and even burgers.

    How to Store Horseradish Sauce

    Store any leftover horseradish sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It lasts up to 1 week. I personally like to add it to a mason jar and use it as a dip for vegetables like carrots and celery sticks.

      Everything turned out great except we weren't a fan of the horseradish sauce. I questioned the sour cream so make a quarter of a batch just to taste it. It was too "sour" for our tastes. I made another quarter batch using mayo instead and it was much better. Thank you for the recipes!

        Hi Yvonne! Mayo is a great substitute for a milder taste in the sauce. We're so glad you enjoyed it!

      I made this for my Christmas day standing rib meal this year (along with a red wine reduction). It was really good!
