Prime Rib 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 is a spicy root vegetable in the same family as mustard and wasabi. By itself, it is widely used as a condiment and as an ingredient in dressings and sauces.
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.
As long as you use a gluten-free Worcestershire, this sauce recipe is completely gluten-free.
Horseradish sauce can be frozen by placing it in an airtight freezer bag, pushing all the excess air out, and freezing for up to 6-8 months. Label with the freezing date and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before using.
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.
