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 beef tenderloin or standing prime rib roast for Christmas dinner, this easy Horseradish Sauce is a MUST HAVE. It takes about a minute to stir up the creamy sauce and it’s slightly sweet, tangy, peppery bite is the perfect condiment for buttery beef.

I don’t remember when I even came up with this creamy horseradish sauce 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 the best Horseradish Sauce recipe 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 – Tangy full-fat sour cream makes this sauce ultra creamy. If you prefer, you can substitute with plain greek yogurt.
• Horseradish – Prepared horseradish in a jar is readily available at most grocery stores and is what I use to make this sauce. If you can get real horseradish grated from fresh horseradish root, you will have one of the best horseradish sauce versions ever.
• Mustard – I love the mild, smooth flavor of dijon mustard because it balances the sharpness of the horseradish beautifully. You can substitute with yellow mustard, if that’s what you have on hand.
• Vinegar – Apple Cider Vinegar is my go-to acid for this sauce. It adds a hint of sweetness. If you have red wine vinegar, white vinegar or champagne vinegar, they’re great substitutes.
• Worcestershire sauce – Adding deep, rich flavor, Worcestershire sauce is a must in this sauce recipe.
• Chives – Used as a garnish and a hint of onion flavor, chives are optional but shouldn’t be skipped.
