Make this quick, tangy, and creamy horseradish sauce at home. It delivers classic steakhouse flavor instantly and pairs perfectly with roast beef or prime rib.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained if very wet
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
  2. Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix in the salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more horseradish for extra heat or lemon juice for more tang.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Notes

  • For a copycat of Ina Garten’s style, use high-quality ingredients.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce for drizzling, add a teaspoon of milk or heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Drain the excess liquid from the prepared horseradish before mixing to keep your sauce thick and creamy.
