Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained well
- 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 need sour cream, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 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 fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix again until just combined.
- Taste the sauce. If you want more sharpness, add a small amount more prepared horseradish. If you want it tangier, add a few more drops of lemon juice.
- 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 easy horseradish condiment with your favorite roast beef or prime rib.
Notes
- Drain the prepared horseradish thoroughly using a fine-mesh sieve or by pressing it between paper towels. Excess liquid makes the sauce watery.
- For a copycat steakhouse sauce flavor, use high-quality, sharp prepared horseradish.
- You can substitute half of the sour cream with heavy cream for a slightly lighter texture.
- This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
