Ingredients

▢ 1 cup sour cream
▢ 1/4 cup prepared horseradish adjust to your preferred heat level
▢ 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
▢ 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
▢ 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
▢ 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
▢ 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional, for added depth
▢ 1 tablespoon fresh chives finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. If using, add the Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor.
Whisk all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your liking—add more horseradish for a spicier kick or a pinch more salt to enhance the flavors.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the horseradish sauce for a minimum of 30 minutes. This chilling step is crucial as it allows all the bold flavors to meld together perfectly.
Stir the sauce again just before serving to ensure it's creamy. Garnish with finely chopped fresh chives if desired, and serve chilled alongside prime rib, roast beef, or steak.
