Horseradish Sauce FAQs
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!
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.

Yvonne says
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!
