Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained well
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. Make sure you drain any excess liquid from the prepared horseradish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir them together until they are fully mixed and smooth.
- Add the drained horseradish, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl.
- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the sauce is creamy.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste the sauce and add more horseradish or lemon juice if you desire a stronger flavor.
- Cover the bowl and chill the creamy horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve this tangy beef topping with your prime rib or steak.
Notes
- For a bolder flavor, use fresh horseradish root instead of prepared horseradish. Start with one tablespoon and adjust to your preference.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add one teaspoon of milk or heavy cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
