Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained if very wet
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. You will need a medium bowl for mixing.
- Place the sour cream, drained prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice into the bowl.
- Add the salt and pepper to the mixture.
- Use a whisk or a spoon to mix all the ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and uniform in color.
- Taste the sauce. If you want a sharper, more sinus-clearing zing, add one teaspoon more of prepared horseradish. If you prefer it milder, add one more teaspoon of sour cream.
- Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve this bold flavor sauce with your prime rib, roast beef, or steak.
Notes
- For a sauce with more heat, use fresh horseradish root instead of prepared. If you use fresh root, grate 1/4 cup and process it with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar first to stabilize the heat before mixing with the other ingredients.
- This recipe is inspired by steakhouse style sauces and is a simple recipe for a zesty beef condiment.
- If you are making this ahead of time for a special occasion, it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to five days.
