Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. You need sour cream, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, drained prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well to distribute the seasoning.
- Taste the sauce. If you want more heat, add a small amount of extra prepared horseradish. If you want it tangier, add a few drops more vinegar.
- 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 zesty sauce with your prime rib, roast beef, or favorite steak.
Notes
- Drain the prepared horseradish well before adding it to the sauce. Excess liquid makes the sauce thin.
- For a flavor closer to Ina Garten’s style, use a combination of sour cream and heavy cream for a lighter texture.
- If you are making this for a large crowd, double the recipe easily.
- This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
