We’re sharing one more recipe today to make your Perfect Prime Rib dinner even more delicious – a fantastic Creamy Horseradish Sauce to serve along with it!

In my opinion, the zesty flavor of horseradish is a perfect complement to any steak or roast beef dish. This Creamy Horseradish Sauce is cool and creamy with a gentle heat, and spooned on top of a slice of prime rib – it helps balance and enhance the richness of the meat.

    Hi Martha,
    Can’t wait to make your creamy horseradish for our Beef Tenderloin Christmas Eve family dinner. Our son always tells us not to get him a gift, as he waits all year for that dinner. We usually have 16 people, however this year it will be 17, as we have a new great grandson.The prime rib sounds soooo good {one is in my freezer}, and I may give Yorkshire Pudding a try—always thought it was too difficult. I have no success with popovers, this sounds easier.
    God Bless,
    Linda

      Thank you Linda! I hope your family enjoys the recipes – and what a compliment! You must be a great cook if your son only wants your Christmas dinner! 🙂 I do think that Yorkshire Pudding is easier than popovers – I hope you have good luck making it this holiday season! Thanks for writing to us today. Martha P.S. Congrats on your new grandson! Such a fun time of year to have a new baby in the family…

    Hi Martha,
    Have you ever tried freezing this recipe? I have a lot of fresh horseradish to use for just the two of us. Thanks!

      Hi Ruth – No…we haven’t tried freezing it. (I’m not sure that the sour cream and mayo would freeze very well.) Sorry I can’t be more help!

    Prepared horseradish as in the jar or fresh that is crushed? Any certain brand?

      Hi Lisa – We use jarred (but if you make your own fresh, by all means use that). We’ve used Gold’s (it’s kept in the refrigerated section of our supermarket) but any brand will do.

    Is that really ONE cup of horseradish?? sounds like a lot!

      Yes! It’s a zesty sauce that you’d use as a condiment on Prime Rib or other meats. If you are worried about the amount, feel free to start with less and add more to suit your tastes.

    A really great sauce! Have made it several times now and used it on prime rib, roast beef and steaks to various sandwiches (VERY good here). Always on the condiment rack for burgers at backyard cookouts. My only tweak is that I add about 1 1/2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives; adds a nice background note and a bit of color.

    I have never used horseradish before, eager to try thus recepie. Can I use the horseradish that is already prepared, and just add the remaining of the ingredients, or does it have to be just plain horseradish?

      Hi Grace – Yes – you can use the prepared horseradish (just not the horseradish that is already in a cream sauce.) Enjoy!

    So this is yummy! I have made it as is, and I’ve added a bit of this-and-that at times too! My last batch included maybe a tbsp or a bit more, of sweet relish, about a tsp of fresh dill, and roughly a tsp or so of fresh mined garlic. Winner. (For those wondering about getting that horseradish nice a dry – cheesecloth is awesome.:))

    Thank for this addition to whatever!

    How long will this sauce last in refrigerator? I made it last Friday for a party and I have alot left to be used for Christmas. Should I just make fresh?

      It will last as long as the shortest code you used on mayonnaise, sour cream and horseradish. For example, if your sour cream has an expiration date of two weeks from now and the other two are longer, you should stop using it on the expiration date of your sour cream. That said, if you let it sit out for hours at room temperature, I would not save it at all.
