Creamy Horseradish Sauce Recipe
Description
The Creamy Horseradish Sauce Recipe blends basic ingredients like sour cream or crema with horseradish and mustard for a piquant condiment. The white wine vinegar adds acidity to balance the creaminess while salt and black pepper season the mix. The horseradish provides the distinctive pungent heat and sharpness characteristic of this sauce.
Whisking these ingredients together results in a smooth, creamy sauce with a spicy kick from the horseradish and mustard. This sauce can be poured over steak, roast beef sandwiches, or other robust meats to cut through richness and add a bright, tangy flavor.
You can adjust the heat by adding more horseradish or a hot sauce, or sprinkle in cayenne pepper for additional warmth. Fresh horseradish root offers deeper flavor but requires refrigeration to develop its spice. Prepared horseradish is quicker to use but less intense.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream or crema
- 2 tablespoons horseradish or use grated fresh horseradish, prepared
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard or use Dijon mustard, spicy
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the crema or sour cream, horseradish, mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl.
- Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- Serve as desired.
Notes
- Substitute sour cream with crema for creaminess variation.
- Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to increase the sauce’s heat level.
- Use fresh horseradish root refrigerated for more pronounced flavor, though it requires some resting time.
- Pairs well with hearty meats like steak or prime rib roast, perfect for sandwiches or plated dishes.
