A quick and easy creamy horseradish sauce that balances heat with creaminess, perfect for complementing prime rib with a smooth, tangy, and zesty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream, full-fat preferred
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
  • Pinch or two of freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Optional: Splash of heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Measure out all ingredients precisely. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Horseradish: Stir in prepared horseradish. Start with 3 tablespoons if sensitive to heat and adjust later.
  4. Season: Add granulated sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk again to blend flavors.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Add heavy cream or more mayo if too sharp; add more horseradish or Dijon mustard if too mild. Adjust salt and lemon juice as needed.
  6. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and sauce thicken.
  7. Final Stir and Serve: Stir the sauce before serving. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature alongside prime rib.

Notes

If the sauce separates after chilling, whisk briskly to recombine. Prepare the sauce ahead of time to save last-minute effort. Adjust horseradish amount to control heat. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and vegan mayo. Store in airtight container up to 4 days in refrigerator. Reheat gently over simmering water, avoid microwaving.
