Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sour 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
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Stir the ingredients together until they are fully mixed and smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Mix again to combine.
If using, stir in the fresh chives.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
Serve cold alongside roast beef or prime rib.
Notes
For a tangier sauce, use heavy cream instead of sour cream, or a mix of both.
If you prefer a stronger horseradish flavor, add more prepared horseradish to taste.
This sauce is a great alternative to standard steak sauces. If you are looking into meal planning for your weekly dinners, this sauce is a quick addition.
