Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the sour cream, heavy cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice for brightness.
- If using, stir in the fresh chives.
- Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve cold alongside prime rib, roast beef, or steak.
Notes
- Drain the prepared horseradish well to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.
- For a sharper flavor, use fresh horseradish root grated finely instead of prepared horseradish.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with an equal amount of cream cheese, softened.
