The Best Creamy Horseradish Sauce

Horseradish Sauce
I’m a big fan of condiments and spreads….and jams and peanut butter. My pantry is totally busting at the seams with all kinds of jars, bottles and containers filled with various sauces to put on all the things.
Unfortunately, my pantry is small so it’s a real problem this hoarding of flavorful toppings and so I try to make my own from scratch on an as needed basis. This Creamy Horseradish Sauce recipe is a regular occurrence in my kitchen for the pure reason that it’s simple and AHHHMAZING!
For holidays where beef is present like that Christmas beef tenderloin or standing prime rib roast, this easy Horseradish Sauce is a MUST HAVE. It takes about a minute to stir up and it’s slightly sweet, tangy, peppery bite is the perfect compliment to buttery beef.
I don’t remember when I even came up with this recipe, it had to be well over 20 years ago because it’s been burned in my brain forever and I LOVE it for my daily roast beef sandwiches. It’s also great on fish and chicken! Or drizzled on a baked potato.
Ingredients You Will Need
Just a few simple ingredients stand in your way of one of the BEST Horseradish Sauce recipes ever. Some recipes call for champagne vinegar or even lemon juice which works well but I love to use Apple Cider Vinegar because of it’s subtle sweet note.
- Sour cream
- Prepared Horseradish
- Dijon Mustard
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Worcestershire sauce
- chives
How To Make Horseradish Sauce
Your Creamy Horseradish Sauce is only as great as the ingredients you put in it so find your favorite and just whisk them together in a bowl.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. It’s super easy to make from scratch!
I like to make my horseradish cream sauce about 24 hours in advance so the flavors can amplify over time. If you forget to make it in advance, no worries, it will still be packed with flavor and taste perfectly amazing.
What to Serve with Horseradish Sauce
- Beef Tenderloin Sandwiches
- Filet Mignon Steaks are even better with a dollop or two
- This Roast Beef Tenderloin belongs with a dish of Horseradish Sauce
- The most amazing French Dip Sandwich just gets better with a bit drizzled on top
- Spoon some over these Grilled Garlic Potatoes.
- Stir some into these Mashed Potatoes and….swoon.
There really are no limits to how much you can add this easy Horseradish Sauce to. It’s incredibly versatile and may just replace that ranch dressing or ketchup you have in your refrigerator.

Hi Kelly. .
Can I make this Creamed Horseradish sauce with double cream instead of using the Sour cream.
Regards from Jan.
Yes, you can but you won’t have the tangy flavor of the sour cream.
This is by far the most excellent recipe for this sauce ever. Most recipes do not have the dijon or the Worcestershire. I use apple cider vinegar because I always have it. This sauce is fabulous added to mashed potatoes also. I dream of great beef with this sauce.
Thank you for your comment! I’m so happy you liked it!
