Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
- Stir the ingredients together until they are fully mixed and smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Mix again to combine.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more horseradish for extra zing or lemon juice for brightness.
- Cover the bowl and chill the creamy horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve this tangy beef condiment with your prime rib, roast beef, or steak.
Notes
- For a copycat version similar to Ina Garten’s recipe, this combination works well.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of milk or heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
- Drain the prepared horseradish well; excess liquid makes the sauce watery.
