Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish (drained if very wet)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. You will need a medium bowl for mixing.
- Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the bowl. Stir them together until they are fully combined and smooth.
- Stir in the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed for your preferred level of tanginess or saltiness.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the creamy horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the bold flavors to meld.
- Serve this tangy steak sauce alongside your prime rib, roast beef, or use it as a zesty dip.
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger horseradish flavor, use up to 1/3 cup of prepared horseradish.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
- This sauce is excellent made ahead of time; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If you are looking for Ina Garten style sauce, this recipe closely matches the flavor profile she uses for roast beef.
