Horseradish Sauce Recipe

This creamy Horseradish Sauce rivals the best Steakhouse horseradish I’ve tried in both Ruth’s Chris and the Cottonwood Grill. It is excellent paired with prime rib, steak or beef tenderloin.

Horseradish Sauce Recipe:

This horseradish cream sauce is so easy and will impress your dinner guests! It keeps well in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks and only gets better as the flavors meld.

This sauce is creamy and balanced by the cider vinegar. It isn’t overly pungent and won’t mask the flavors of the excellent prime rib you’ve prepared. If you like your horseradish sauce a little more potent, add horseradish to taste.

What is Prepared Horseradish?

You can purchase jars labeled “prepared horseradish” in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.

If you have a fresh horseradish root growing in your yard, you can make homemade prepared horseradish in a food processor with some water, vinegar and salt but keep in mind homemade is twice as strong as store-bought so add it to taste.

Prepared horseradish is so versatile. We love it in crab salad, coleslaw and “Hron” (a Russian sauce with grated beets). 

How to Make Horseradish Sauce:

It really doesn’t get any easier than this: combine all of the ingredients and stir!

What Can I Serve Horseradish Sauce With?

Horseradish sauce for prime rib is obvious but some of these ideas may surprise you! It adds memorable flavor to:

• Prime Rib
• Steak Sandwiches
• Beef Tenderloin
• Pork Tenderloin
• Sushi (instead of wasabi)
• Deviled Eggs
