I’m a big fan of condiments and spreads….and jams and peanut butter.  My pantry is totally busting at the seams with all kinds of jars, bottles and containers filled with various sauces to put on all the things.

Unfortunately, my pantry is small so it’s a real problem this hoarding of flavorful toppings and so I try to make my own from scratch on an as needed basis. This Creamy Horseradish Sauce recipe is a regular occurrence in my kitchen for the pure reason that it’s simple and AHHHMAZING!

Homemade Horseradish Sauce

For holidays where beef is present like that Christmas beef tenderloin or standing prime rib roast, this easy Horseradish Sauce is a MUST HAVE.  It takes about a minute to stir up and it’s slightly sweet, tangy, peppery bite is the perfect compliment to buttery beef.

I don’t remember when I even came up with this recipe, it had to be well over 20 years ago because it’s been burned in my brain forever and I LOVE it for my daily roast beef sandwiches. It’s also great on fish and chicken!  Or drizzled on a baked potato.

How To Make It

Your Creamy Horseradish Sauce is only as great as the ingredients you put in it so find your favorite and just whisk them together in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. It’s super easy to make from scratch!

Ingredients You Will Need

Just a few simple ingredients stand in your way of one of the BEST Horseradish Sauce recipes ever. Some recipes call for champagne vinegar or even lemon juice which works well but I love to use Apple Cider Vinegar because of it’s subtle sweet note.

  • Sour cream
  • Prepared Horseradish
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • chives

I like to make my horseradish cream sauce about 24 hours in advance so the flavors can amplify over time.  If you forget to make it in advance, no worries, it will still be packed with flavor and taste perfectly amazing.

How To Use It

  • Spread on these Ahhhhmazing Beef Tenderloin Sandwiches
  • As a dip for your Standing Rib Roast
  • These Filet Mignon Steaks are even better with a dollop or two
  • This Roast Beef Tenderloin belongs with a dish of Horseradish Sauce
  • The most amazing French Dip Sandwich just gets better with a bit drizzled on top
  • Spoon some over these Grilled Garlic Potatoes.
  • Stir some into these Mashed Potatoes and….swoon.

There really are no limits to how much you can add this easy Horseradish Sauce to.  It’s incredibly versatile and may just replace that ranch dressing or ketchup you have in your refrigerator.

Why is horseradish served with prime rib?

Horseradish complements heavier cuts of beef, such as a prime rib, by cutting through the deep flavor and imparting a lighter flavor to the meat. It goes well with prime rib and roast beef sandwiches, but it also goes well with steak, beef tenderloin, and even burgers.

What is the difference between horseradish sauce and horseradish cream?

Prepared horseradish is the grated root mixed with vinegar to stabilize its heat. Cream style horseradish sauce is prepared horseradish blended with sour cream or heavy cream. You can buy both styles in the supermarket, but you can also make them at home.

What is prime rib sauce made of?

Au jus is a light sauce made from the pan drippings of beef, pork, or chicken. Beef au jus is a common dipping sauce for roast beef sandwiches like the French Dip Sandwich, and pairs especially well with prime rib.

What meat does horseradish go with?

Horseradish sauce is a wonderful accompaniment to steak, prime rib, beef tenderloin, and pork, and is a classic condiment on gefilte fish. Lighter than buttery, creamy sauces like béarnaise, horseradish has a bite that won't mask the flavor of your meats.
