Horseradish Sauce Recipe
This creamy Horseradish Sauce rivals the best Steakhouse horseradish I’ve tried in both Ruth’s Chris and the Cottonwood Grill. It is excellent paired with prime rib, steak or beef tenderloin.

Horseradish Sauce Recipe:
This horseradish cream sauce is so easy and will impress your dinner guests! It keeps well in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks and only gets better as the flavors meld.
This sauce is creamy and balanced by the cider vinegar. It isn’t overly pungent and won’t mask the flavors of the excellent prime rib you’ve prepared. If you like your horseradish sauce a little more potent, add horseradish to taste.
What is Prepared Horseradish?
You can purchase jars labeled “prepared horseradish” in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
If you have a fresh horseradish root growing in your yard, you can make homemade prepared horseradish in a food processor with some water, vinegar and salt but keep in mind homemade is twice as strong as store-bought so add it to taste.
Prepared horseradish is so versatile. We love it in crab salad, coleslaw and “Hron” (a Russian sauce with grated beets).
How to Make Horseradish Sauce:
It really doesn’t get any easier than this: combine all of the ingredients and stir!
What Can I Serve Horseradish Sauce With?
Horseradish sauce for prime rib is obvious but some of these ideas may surprise you! It adds memorable flavor to:
- Prime Rib
- Steak Sandwiches
- Beef Tenderloin
- Pork Tenderloin
- Sushi (instead of wasabi)
- Deviled Eggs

Q: What is YOUR favorite way to enjoy Creamy Horseradish Sauce? I would love to hear from you in a comment below!
What is a nondairy substitute for sour cream?thank you so very much.
Hi Patricia! I have not tested an alternative. One of my readers reported using Greek yogurt with great results. I wonder if you could do the same with a dairy-free sour cream or yogurt. Let us know if you experiment.
Thank you for your recipe. I will use it on spicy chicken recipes for sure!
How long will this last in the fridge? Thinking about making for holiday gifts. Thanks!
Hi Cheri! See my note above- “It keeps well in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks and only gets better as the flavors meld.”
This is a great basic recipe. I add a few tweaks.
Sub lemon for vinegar
Add a little hot sauce and mustard
I like mine with more pepper
Sounds good, great to hear that you loved it!
Breaded vegetables like zucchini is great dipped in horseradish sauce!
Sounds wonderful!
I’ve always cut my horseradish with sour cream so I’ll have to try your recipe it sound yummy. I also use it on corned beef, and a good ol’ pot roast. Love love horseradish☺️
I hope you’ll love it!
I made this with nonfat greek yogurt bc it was all I had on hand but it tasted amazing with my steak and potatoes!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your excellent review, Jen! I’m so glad it all worked out!
So yummy on baked potatoes or root vegetable cakes! I also like it on hamburgers and as a topping on homemade tomato soup.
Hi Brandi, yes I’m glad you are enjoying this sauce!
This recipe is perfect. It’s always so good and tastes fresh. I love using this for prime rib. It’s definitely better made a few hours in advance and chilled.
Hi Mollie! I’m glad you love the recipe, thank you for sharing.
Excellent! I’d been having loads of trouble finding Woeber’s Sandwich Pal in supermarkets for some months, but now I can make my own. As an added bonus…no soybean oil, xanthan gum and weird chemicals. Thanks!
You’re very welcome! 🙂
Horseradish is part of a Passover Seder. It represents the bitterness of slavery that the Israelites suffered in Egypt for 400 years before God redeemed them through Moses. It is served on a Matzah cracker, and then again on a Matzah cracker with a sweet apple dish added to show that even the most bitter circumstances can be sweetened by the hope we have in God.
I love this sauce with breaded fried cauliflower or broccoli.
So good! Thank you for the feedback.
What does it mean/ how do you strain your horseradish? Thank you!
Hi Sara, we don’t mention “straining” the horseradish in the recipe, was this possibly meant for a different post?
I think they are referring to the ingredients list where it says “2 Tbsp prepared horseradish, drained”
Hi Michelle, Thank you for that note. We do mention draining it to remove access liquid, but not straining it. To drain it you can place it in a small fine mesh colander and press out excess juice using the back of a spoon or a fork.
Sounds really good…although I haven’t tried it yet. I can see having some in my fridge though. If having salmon….all I have to do is add minced dill and maybe a little more Mayo (depending on the strength of the horseradish) and I’ve got a good dill sauce.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Dave! I hope you love this recipe!
All I can say is excellent and very easy!! Huge hit with prime rib on New Years Day dinner!! To night is the Greek feta ziti, another of our favorites!!
Thank you, Brad! I’m so glad it was a hit!
Just made this horseradish sauce for my steaks tomorrow. Letting it mingle. I tasted it! Yummy! I love following you Natasha! You have AWESOME recipes! ❤️ Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Denise! Thank you for trying my recipes.
This is delicious! My husband is not a fan of horseradish and he even loved it! Thank you for the recipe.
That’s great, Janell! I’m so glad to hear that.
Absolutely delicious! Looked at several recipes for creamy horseradish sauce and this one looked particularly good – it was and is!!! Made prime rib for my husband and this was the best accompaniment – he loved it, as did I. Eat it with your baked potato – yum! yum!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
I made this recipe for a retirement party at the firehouse for a 52 year member. 46 guests. Rave reviews. Super easy.
That’s great! I’m so glad they loved it. Thank you for the feedback.
This was delicious with our Roast Beef. Made as written. Added more horseradish, to taste. (Probably was an additional Tabke
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
If I wanted to “encrust” my prime rib with your delicious horsey sauce the last few minutes before taking it out of the oven, would I need to make any modifications?
Hi Cathy! I don’t think so…
Let us know how it turns out.
My husband asked for horseradish sauce 10 minutes before dinner was done a few years ago. I found this recipe threw it together. It was the easiest recipe I could find. Now every time I make prime rib. He wants this sauce. Everyone who has this sauce Loves it!!!
Thank You.
That’s great to hear, Linda! I’m so glad it was a hit.
Never made this before. Just did and curious if it is supposed to be thin as mine is thick.
Thanks
Hi Terry, I recommend looking at the photo recipes to get an idea of what the sauce should look like. It should not be too runny.
I just made this today in anticipation of Sunday’s Christmas dinner. I cut the recipe in half because there will be 5 of us at the table and I suspect only 2 of us will be adventureous enough to try it. I tasted it and while it was good felt it needed more horseradish, so I essentially doubled the amount. The extra TBL really hit the spot. This is delicious and I will be proud to serve it with the standing rib roast. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Jimmy! I bet this is going to be a hit at the dinner table! Merry Christmas!
Can I make this recipe a day ahead? Not sure how long it will keep.
It keeps well in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks and only gets better as the flavors meld.
This recipe is really good. I added additional horseradish because we love it a little spicy, and a dash more salt and pepper and it was spot on. Thanks, Natasha!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, J!
I didn’t care for the flavor, felt the apple cider vinegar made it too tangy.
I followed this to the letter… And with all new ingredients from the grocery store. My spouse and I love horseradish. My son in law is making prime rib for dinner today. This did not taste good… It was chalkie tasting and blah. I made it because of all the likes on the recipe. Even added more horseradish and it did not help. Chilling over night did not help. Throwing it out and starting over.
Hi Kathy! That is odd. I’ve never had that experience and I am not sure what could have caused it. Be sure to use fresh/prepared horseradish and not powder. I hope the next attempt is much better!
My kids request this with any beef dish I serve. It has become a family staple and will always be found at our gatherings where beef is served.
Good to know that your family loves this recipe, Michelle!
My favorite way to enjoy creamy horseradish sauce is as a dip with steak quesadillas
Yum!
This recipe was very delicious. Unfortunately the horseradish was a course grind nearing it’s “best by” date so mine was weak and the texture wasn’t very creamy. Suggest a regular or fine grind that’s far from the “best by” date and extra hot.
Thank you for your comments and suggestion. So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Made your recipe for Horseradish Sauce and LOVED it. So versatile to add flavor many dishes. 🙋
Thank you, Beverly! I’m happy you enjoyed it.
This is the only horseradish sauce I make. My family expects it when I serve roast beef. Always make extra for leftovers.
Simple, easy and flavourful- my kind of recipe.
Hi Susan, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us.
I own a food truck, which is predominately Seafood. A few of the menu items I offer are Shrimp Tacos & Fish Tacos. Being I often get requests for non seafood, red meat offerings I’ve added
Ribeye Tacos using your recipe! I usually grill numerous Ribeye steaks to rare,, then pull them, let cool & throw them into the fridge overnight. Then I slice them into Taco sized slices & nag them. As customers order, I throw some meat on my flat top, then build the tacos:
Flour tortillas, chopped romaine, sliced Ribeye steak, fresh Pico de gallo & your Horseradish SAUCE!
A BIG HIT!! Thank you!!
That’s wonderful! I’m honored that you use my recipes. Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad they are enjoyed.
We had a rib roast tonight for dinner and I forgot horseradish sauce. Thanks for sharing your recipe! I didn’t add the salt, pepper or chives. We loved it! Would definitely make again. My daughter had it on roasted chicken and said it tasted great on that as well!
I’m so glad you discovered my recipe, LJ! Thank you for your review!
Great Recipe.. I used this for making “Beef on Weck”. It’s a great alternative to straight prepared horseradish especially for people that don’t like the heat..
Thanks for sharing, Joe. Good to know that you liked it!
Fantastic recipe. I didn’t have sour cream and replaced it with plain greek yogurt. Also, I used freshly grated horseradish. Served with eye of round steak. My guests practically licked the bowl. They said it should be bottled and sold. They loved it on potatoes too. I will be making this again.
Thank you for sharing those substitutions with me, Beverly! I’m so glad it was a hit!
“Memorable flavor” indeed! This sauce is perfect for steaks, and I prefer it to Béarnaise both in taste and because of how easy it is to make. It may be because I am of Russian background and have a fondness for horseradish, but this stuff is phenomenal! I also add some liquid smoke to mine, too.
That sounds delicious, John! Thank you for sharing.
I love this horseradish sauce. We would grind our own horseradish, when I was a little girl. I love to eat it with chicken also.
Really enjoy watching you cook and trying your recipes.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing that with me, Yolanda!
I made a pork loin with roasted veggies and wanted horseradish sauce. I came across your recipe and decided to give it a try. Excellent results. I loved it and will definitely be making this again and share it with my horseradish ❤️ loving friends and family. I can’t wait to try with beef. The combination of ingredients work extremely well together.
Sounds delicious! So glad you found this recipe. Thank you for the review, Carolyn.
Holy crap this is good! I burned, shredded and deleted all other horseradish recipes. It’s amazing the difference the vinegar makes. My go to from now on. Thank you
So glad you enjoy this recipe, Daniel!
I made this at Christmas as we made a standing rib roast and it was great on the meat. I had a bunch left over and used it as a dip for some plain regular potato chips and it was amazing as a dip.
Nice, thanks a lot for sharing that! So good to hear that you enjoyed this dip recipe!
I have always put sour cream and horseradish on my baked potato..
This makes it so much better!
Sounds great too, Lyn. Thank you for sharing that info with us!
Awesome idea! I made way too much of this delightful sauce and baked potatoes would be perfect.
Really great added a little more horseradish and some shallots tops as that’s all I had and growing shallots in my garden
Need to switch quantities of Mayo and Sour Cream, add extra horseradish. Guess for an ingredient list it’s okay, proportions not even close.
Delicious meld of flavors! We eat it as an alternative to ketchup on top of meatloaf. We don’t put it in until serving as the contrast of hot and cold is 😋
Thank you!
You’re welcome! Sounds good.
Spot on, thanks! I made it for corned beef and cabbage—delicious! I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted plain greek yogurt, it was perfect!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
Very good!!! Perfect with corned beef and cabbage. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Thank you and same to you, Jen!
We made your horseradish sauce receipe and everybody loved it to put on the prime rib roast.
Great to hear that, Robert. Glad it was a hit!
I will serve it with oven baked potato wedges. I love to watch you cook. Your facial expressions are awesome!
Thank you for watching my videos, Deb! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Kia ora, my go to recipe is 3tbsp cream cheese & 1tbsp horse radish sauce. For a milder flavor increase the cream cheese (or my favourite) kick a… increase horse radish
Spread straight on to toasted bagel & top with sliced smoked salmon & oak lettuce
Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
Absolutely the best horseradish sauce I have ever tried ! Number one in my book :))
Thanks a lot for the awesome feedback, Pam!
So quick & simple to make and delicious with a beef dip or other beef dishes!
Isn’t that the best?! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I made the horseradish sauce for this Christmas Prime Rib and it was great!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review, Michael!
Excellent horseradish sauce! I made it to accompany a smoked prime rib for Christmas, and it was a huge hit! Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
You are very welcome, Maria. I’m happy to hear that it was such a great hit!
My son made this for our prime rib on Christmas yesterday and it was sincerely the best I have had. Everyone commented on it and ate the whole thing! Thanks for putting this out there so we could find it! 🙂
Yay, that is awesome! Thank you for sharing this review with us, we’re so glad you loved it!
Made your cranberry orange bread and it was such a hit. It was outstanding. Love all your recipes. Thanks💕
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Marie!
Hi Natasha, I am planning to make this for Christmas and I was wondering if it can be prepared ahead of time and frozen?
I haven’t tried freezing this to advise. I worry it will separate when thawed. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
It’s wonderful! Daughter eats it with everything, including dipping chips, bacon in it. Sometimes I sub dill weed, depending on her cravings.
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Hi Natasha,
Can I use cream horseradish? This is what I have right now.
Thank you
Hi Nix, I haven’t tried that substitution but one of our readers wrote: “since it was all I could find, I used 4 tablespoons of the creamy horseradish and left out the mayo. Came out perfect.”
Thanks for your reply will make this for thanksgiving dinner 😘
I love horseradish sauce on roast beef, ham, bologna, french fries, and a good ole hamburger. I will say that i really like your recipe !!!
It’s good on almost everything! I’m glad you loved it, Bob!
Hi Natasha ,
We just served this with our eye of round roast (mid-rare of course)and I must say…it was one of the best we have ever tasted! Thank you for sharing…
That’s so great! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Sweet! I’m thinking of smoking an eye of round roast this Christmas and this comment convinced me to try this recipe!
I will definitely try this! Just a small correction, horseradish sauce with beef is traditional in Britain. Your article lists this as American cuisine.
Hi Michael, thanks for sharing! Do you make it the same way in Britain?
Omg! This is an awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! I hope you love it, Clair!
Good stuff! I added way more horseradish because I’m spicy like that! Had it with zucchini I air-fried.
Yum! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
We enjoyed it with smoked trout. It was outstanding!
Yum! That sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing that with me, BK!
What a talented person you are love watching you cook great recipes keep smiling and be happy
Aww! You’re so nice! Thank you, Marie!
Can you use fresh horseradish root? If so, how would I prepare it and how much would I use?
Thank you
Hi Sandy, it can be done; we have a note on that in the recipe: “If you have a fresh horseradish root growing in your yard, you can make homemade prepared horseradish in a food processor with some water, vinegar, and salt but keep in mind homemade is twice as strong as store-bought so add it to taste.” I hope it helps.
This was PERFECT and AMAZING!! I made crescent roll sheet pan French dips. With Au jus and this yummy sauce. I did sub miracle whip for the mayo and it was FANTASTIC!! Loved by ALL …. 5 plus ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Will make this over and over again!
Hi Tessa, I’m so glad you loved the horseradish sauce and thanks for sharing the idea to serve with crescent roll French Dip! That sounds delicious.
This was AMAZING. i did sub miracle whip for mayo. I made crescent roll pan baked French dips with Au jus and this dip. And it was loved BY ALL!!
Yay, that is fantastic feedback. Glad it was a hit and thanks for sharing, Tessa!
This went on broccoli fritters! And it was perfect.
Yum! That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing Robin!
Followed exactly and it tasted like vinegar, first pic on your blig
Did you do a TBSP or TSP of vinegar? I’ve made this and it’s perfect and not too strong on vinegar. Leads me to think you may have misread the recipe.
Hi Jason, the recipe calls for “1 tsp” which is 1 teaspoon. It sounds like you added 3 times the amount of vinegar that is called for which would make it too vinegary. I hope you try it again. It’s a very popular recipe on our site.
This was excellent. Made today for Easter with prime rib. Easy and delicious.
Glad you liked it, Andrea!
What do you think about putting this on salmon?
Ted’s Montana Grill has a horseradish sauce for their salmon, I’ve been trying to find one for such a long time.
Oh! I haven’t tried that, but that sounds amazing! If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Add tourtiere to the list this sauce is delicious with!
Printed and put it in my home file — tip top! Made it for our corned beef and cabbage dinner, it was perfect.
Glad you loved it, Kim. Thank you for your awesome review!
How much sauce does this recipe make?
Hi Linda, please see the printable recipe card and scroll to serving size. “Servings: 12 people (yields 3/4 cup)”
I love making Baltimore pit beef or sometimes I just grill up a chunk of top or bottom round and slice thin on my meat slicer. I have always used my favorite BBQ sauce, Sonny’s. I wanted to try a Horsey sauce other than from Arby’s. From here on out, this will be kept prepared in my fridge. I can’t imagine a better version. A+, Thank you!
You’re welcome, Jason! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I use on corned beef or roast beef sandwiches
I use as spread on sandwiches.
We call it crack!
I’ve recently tried a horseradish sauce at a wedding venue testing and enjoyed it. So I looked for a recipe and found this recipe! Best sauce ever!!! I want to put it on everything. Lol. Thank you!!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
The best horseradish sauce I’ve ever made! Saving this one for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Deana for your great feedback!
by far, the best horseradish sauce I’ve had! We enjoyed it with Prime Rib for Christmas.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Loved this recipe, added a little more horseradish to give it extra kick, good creamy texture. Perfect to pair with the prime rib!
Perfect! Thanks for sharing that with us, J. Glad you loved this recipe!
We used on our beef tenderloin-for Christmas- and it was a hit with everyone!!
Delicious!!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Elizabeth!
Hubby and I loved the sauce on prime rib! I used Miracle Whip for the mayo and omitted the salt, pepper and chives (it’s winter). Thanks for posting your recipe!
You are most welcome, Mary. So good to know that you enjoyed this sauce recipe!
I made your prime rib for Christmas Day first time
Came out perfect!
Love it and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is my second Christmas using this recipe, this was sooo sooo good and turned out perfect second year in a row. I’ve turned several people to this recipe! Thank you!
Thank you for your good comments, Susan!
Just made this for Christmas Prime Rib. Best Horseradish dip that I’ve made. We used fresh grated horseradish and added some extra, delicious!! My Ukrainian born wife doesn’t like prepared horseradish!! Only fresh.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Arthur. Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I made this for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas. Excellent recipe, easy enough to make and now the prime rib tastes even better. I suggest making it the day ahead. I feel like the horseradish flavor really gets to shine.
Glad you loved it for the second time, Hannah!
Natasha, loved it for our prime rib on Christmas!! Thank you
I’m glad to hear that, Pamela. You are more than welcome!
I’m trying my hand at a prime rib roast.
Going to try this horseradish sauce. Sounds amazing. Thank you and merry Christmas.
I hope you love this sauce with the prime rib roast!
This is so easy to make and is absolutely the best for prime rib roast!
Thank you for your good feedback, Marc!
Very very good! Like your videos
I’m happy to hear that. Thank you for watching.
Hi Frank, I haven’t tested it without mayo but here is what one of our readers wrote: “since it was all I could find, I used 4 tablespoons of the creamy horseradish and left out the mayo. Came out perfect.” I hope this helps.
Merry Christmas Natasha!! To you and your family. I will make this horseradish sauce tomorrow for my prime rib. I have made so many of your recipes this year. The family favorite so far is the beef stroganoff. YUM!!!
THank you, Pat! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hi Natasha,
We make a very similar sauce EVERY time we grill steaks. We use dill instead of chives, and throw in some garlic. But I’m making yours tomorrow with the beef tenderloin. Can’t wait! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing that with me, Katie! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
I know it’s Christmas Eve but I am hoping you can respond. I am making rib roast tomorrow and want to make this as an accompaniment. I don’t have apple cider vinegar, just regular. Could I use that instead? Is there anything else I could replace it with? Will the flavor be drastically altered? Please help if you can? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
HI Gene, I haven’t tried it with white vinegar, but I would probably add half the amount with white vinegar or add it to taste.
I use Silver Spring fresh ground horseradish and it comes in distilled vinegar. I drain the horseradish and add a small amount of the jar vinegar to my sauce. It’s pretty strong acid-wise, but it tastes really good. I’d take Ms Kravchuk’s advice and cut the amount and give the white vinegar a whirl – you’re really just trying to add a touch of acid to the sauce (lemon would probably even work.)
I’m going to give this recipe with the apple cider vinegar a go tomorrow with prime rib 🙂 Happy Holidays!
So good! I mixed a batch of this sauce this morning to serve with our Christmas Eve appetizers – thinly sliced pork loin on baguette with a dollop of this horseradish sauce. Yum!
Isn’t it the best! Thank you for that wonderful review!
I love your videos. I have had several strokes and have forgotten a lot. But your videos have helped me learn to cook again plus you make them so fun. Thanks to you, your husband and your beautiful children I am starting back to cooking a little at a time. I am writing down some when I can for later use. Again thank you for all you do to make these videos! May God Bless you and your family with the greatest holiday.
Hi Phillis, thank you so much for that thoughtful comment. It really means so much to me. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas!
Good morning! I have either dried chives, or fresh green onions (without another trip to the store!) Do you think one would be better than the other as a fresh chive sub? Thank you – I can’t wait to try this!
Hi Suzi, fresh green onions would work well finely chopped. I hope you love the homemade horseradish sauce and Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it.
Can I grade fresh graded horse radish and ad it to your recipe
Hi Laura, you can make homemade prepared horseradish in a food processor with some water, vinegar and salt but keep in mind homemade is twice as strong as store-bought so add it to taste.
This is the best horseradish sauce I’ve made.
That’s just aweomse! I’m so glad you enjoyed it Rex!
Do you have to use prepared horseradish? I can’t find any…only creamy. Is that ok?
Hi Traci, creamy horseradish is essentially a pre-made horseradish sauce so I would not recommend it and you’ll probably need to make significant changes to the recipe.
Have you ever tried whipping cream and horseradish sauce with prime rib? It’s fantastic!
Yes! We love horseradish sauce with prime rib! The perfect combination!
Sounds like that would work. what is the ratio?
With gravalax or smoked trout…you recipe was wonderful with those too
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
AMAZING!!! Made this for thanksgiving and it blew everyone away! Now I can’t have a roast without it🤩
Hi Sarah!! That’s awesome! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
This is by far the best horseradish sauce I have ever tasted! I will never go back to the store-bought! I honestly even think it’s better than what I have had at a high-end steak house.
That’s so great, Hilda! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Absolutely delicious! Everything, EVERYTHING I make from your site is amazing! Thank you so much! I love the helpful videos as well! I made this with the beef tenderloin. Amazing!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles
OMG! The mother of all Horseradish Sauces! On Spicy Sweet potato waffle fries!
HEAVEN!
I’m so glad to hear that Jen! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Hi Natasha, thank you for such a great suggestion for my steak sauce! Where will I find horseradish, I haven’t had much luck so far. Thank you!
Hello Luda, you’re welcome. In most grocery stores, horseradish is kept in the condiment aisle. Look for it in a jar or plastic container near relishes, mayo and pickles.
Ni Natasha, found a couple different brands at Walmart, but my husband didn’t approve. He likes to make his own, and recently ran out of home made horseradish. He says store bought takes bitter. Do you like the brand you get? I am on a mission
Hi Luda, the one we use works great. I hope you like it! I have found the refrigerated ones to be better and have better texture also.
Horseradish generally in cold section of store. Usually near sauerkraut or the cold pickles.
NEVER in the condiment isle, not the good ones anyway. GOLD HOT is the best.
I shop at my local Walmart and they have it in the refrigerated case above the sour cream and the cottage cheese usually on the top shelf.
Luda, our prepared horseradish is in the deli section of the grocery store in a refrigerator. Just ask a butcher or someone at the deli counter and they should know. It’s not in the condiment aisle.
It’s amazing iin favor of me to have a site, which is beneficial in sulport of my experience.
thanks admin
Hi Velva, I’m so glad you’re enjoying our site!
Perfect sauce! The sauce went great with our thin sliced steak. I didn’t have chives so I added about 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder after I made half of the recipe. Thanks!
Isn’t the flavor amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed that! Thank you for that great review!
This sauce is yummy! I didn’t have Apple cider vinegar so I used distilled vinegar but still great. Reminds me the sauce that fancy markets have with their beef. Exactly what I wanted!
I’m so glad you enjoyed that Kaitlin.
This was outstanding on my eye round roast.Thank you from all nine who dined.You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your good feedback, John!
My family likes horse radish on corn beef briskett or the creamy sauce on a rubin with rye bread. Yummy!!!
Great to hear that, Anne. Thanks for giving this recipe a try!
I have never commented on a recipe before now. This sauce is perfectly balanced. I always winged it before, and now realize I was missing the mayonnaise and vinegar, and some proportions. Thanks!
You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed this and I hope you love every recipe that you try!
Delicious. I went a wee bit heavier with the horseradish b/c I like the heat, and I used lemon juice in place of the vinegar. It added some tartness and brightness. This is a nice way for me to have my horseradish with my beef (we had it with ribeye steaks) and not blow my head off.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me Ronna! I’m so glad you loved this recipe!
You are so refreshing with the down to earth recipes. I am 71 and I love all the basic recipes. I am making prime rib for New Years and I have all the ingredients for sauce. Thanks
Happy New Year, Cindy! Thank you for sharing that with me.
What is prepared horseradish sauce I looked I couldn’t find it I have regular horseradish what to do
Hi Robert, prepared horseradish is just finely grated horseradish. I found it in the refrigerated section of our grocery store. You might ask a grocery store employee where they keep it – it can be in weird spots (it’s next to the refrigerated sauerkraut, Mexican cheeses and raw tortillas in our store). I have a photo of it in the post (see the third photo from the top).
Love horseradish sauce especially with prime rib. I will be trying this recipe, it looks very good. My Russian grandma always added a little beet juice when she made her horseradish, I’m not sure why.
I love the idea of serving it with Prime Rib! Thank you for that awesome review.
How would you prepare this with powdered horseradish?
Hi Melanie, I have not tested that with powdered to advise. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
The best ever. I served this with prime rib at Christmas, & it was wonderful. My son said “I could just drink this, it’s so good.” There was none left at the end of the meal. In the past I would just wing it, this year i found your recipe, & now I keep it mixed up in my fridge, ready to go. I did add more horseradish.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Yvonne!
Could I replace the sour cream with whipped heavy cream or would that alter the taste and/or texture too much? Thanks so much!
Hi Amy, I haven’t tried it that way so I can’t say for sure but I assume it will significantly change the taste and texture. It will be very liquidy.
Finally found a chef that I could actually follow. Recepies are simple to follow and most times have all ingredients without having to run to store, just finished making pumpkin cake and it smells delicious, thank you so much.
I’m so inspired reading your review. Thank you!
I’ve just grated fresh horseradish from the garden (I’m not crying from the fumes, honestly), and combined it with lemon juice instead of the cider vinegar, and unsweetened Greek yoghurt, s&p, and a finely chopped habanada chilli. It tastes ace already so a few hours to mature should make it awesome for the roast beef tonight.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Made this tonight for a grilled eye round roast. It was very tasty and simple to make. This recipe is now my go to horseradish sauce recipe.
Thank you for posting it!
That’s so great, Curt!! Sounds like you found a new favorite!
I love this on steak, but I absolutely adore it on potatoes, especially roasted potatoes! I’m so glad I came across your recipe because I now keep this in my fridge just about all the time.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Heather! Thank you for sharing that with us!
I think I’ll make my own prepared
Horseradish use your recipe and use it to make your recipe for horseradish sauce.
Thank you
You’re so welcome! I hope you love this recipe!
Oh my gosh, this recipe is superb. I made it for prime rib and just made it again for believe it or not, a dipping sauce for chicken wings. Rave reviews both times! Thank you so much!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Joann!
I’m sorry, but I might be the only one that didn’t like this recipe. The mayo taste came through along with the overpowering apple cider. Not sure why this received so many stars?–I would have gone with some lemon juice rather than the strong apple cider and skipped the mayo.
Hi Amy, I haven’t noticed the mayo overpowering. I wonder if maybe you used a different kind of horseradish (maybe a creamy horseradish sauce was used instead of a prepared horseradish that is called for in this recipe?). That could make all the difference.
Since it was all I could find, I used 4 tablespoons of the creamy horseradish and left out the mayo. Came out perfect.
I am so glad to hear that, Ruth. Thank you for your wonderful feedback!
How many carbs?
Hi Vera, usually the carbs display in the nutrition label and if they don’t display, that typically means there are 0 carbs.
I have used a similar recipe (no mayo). This is so much better!
I actually grate my own horseradish and then stop the sharpness process after seven minutes with apple cider vinegar, so did not add more. It’s the way my Dad always prepared it:)
I really enjoy your site and your videos. You make me smile.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!

Hi Marilyn, Thank you for that wonderful compliment & review!
Delicious horseradish sauce! I served it with classic roast beef. Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Love the idea of making this at home! Looks so delicious!
Yes!! There is nothing like fresh and homemade :). I hope you love this horseradish sauce 🙂
This sauce is so easy and goes fresh on all the things. Thank you!!
You’re so welcome! Thank you for that great review!
Oh my goodness!!! This horseradish sauce is the bomb!!!
Isn’t it amazing?! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Becky!
Really good sauce however the prepared horseradish already has vinegar so next time I will skip the ACV…I like the pungency of the horseradish so I opted for an extra tablespoon and it rivaled my favorite creamy horseradish sauce from Chop House!
Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Fantastic…making a day ahead for flavors to meld.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Oh yum!!! This horseradish sauce is the bomb!!!
You’re so nice! Thank you Becky!
Love this recipe!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Looks so much tastier than the stuff that comes in a jar. And now I’m hungry for some prime rib! 😉
Yes!! There’s no comparison. Homemade will spoil you forever because you’ll never want canned again especially over an expensive cut of beef. Mmmm 🙂
