Make the best, zesty, and creamy horseradish sauce in under 10 minutes. This easy homemade condiment is the perfect tangy pairing for your prime rib, roast beef, or steak.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained well
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Drain the liquid from the prepared horseradish using a fine-mesh sieve or by pressing it between paper towels. Discard the liquid.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, drained horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
  6. Serve this sharp savory sauce with prime rib, roast beef, or steak.

Notes

  • For a stronger sinus-clearing zing, use less sour cream or add one teaspoon of fresh, grated horseradish root if you have it.
  • If you prefer a tangier sauce closer to Ina Garten’s style, increase the white wine vinegar to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
  • This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
