    Homemade Horseradish Sauce

    Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m picky about my horseradish sauce. It’s easy enough to buy a bottle at the store, but for me, not easy to expect that bottle to have the exact taste and creaminess you want!

    Either it’s too sharp, too mild, or just not creamy enough. So, I learned how to make horseradish sauce from scratch, and am sharing it with you so you can enjoy the incredible flavor and texture homemade horseradish sauce has to offer!

    Using a combination of prepared horseradish and a handful of simple, everyday ingredients, you can make your own horseradish cream sauce you will want to pair with everything. It’s great for roast beef sandwiches, prime rib, and more. You can even mix it into salad dressings. Enjoy!

    Horseradish Sauce Ingredients

    • sour cream
    • prepared horseradish
    • Dijon mustard
    • white vinegar
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • fresh chopped chives
    • salt and pepper

    Prepared Horseradish

    Horseradish sauce uses a handful of easy ingredients, but the most important one is, of course, the prepared horseradish.

    If you’ve never used prepared horseradish before, you can find it in a jar in the condiment aisle of any grocery store. Common brands are Reese, Gold’s, and Zatarain’s. Make sure you’re buying prepared horseradish and not a pre-mixed horseradish sauce!

    Fresh Horseradish

    If you don’t want to use prepared horseradish, or for any reason can’t find it, you can also use freshly grated horseradish root. Horseradish is a root vegetable similar to mustard or wasabi, so you can find it in the produce section.

    Keep in mind, the flavor of fresh horseradish root is not identical to prepared, which is preserved with vinegar and spices. You may want to start small if you’re using fresh to avoid an overpowering flavor.

    Leftover Horseradish Sauce

    Store leftovers of this creamy horseradish sauce recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. I prefer to store it in a mason jar and use it as a dip for vegetables or a spread for sandwiches.

    Horseradish Sauce Recipe Tips

    • This sauce pairs with more than just prime rib roast and beef tenderloin dishes. Try it with steak and potatoes, carrots, broccoli, or even as a main course salad dressing with mayo and lemon juice.
    • You can use prepared horseradish or fresh, but if using fresh, make sure to start small and build up the flavor so you don’t overpower your sauce. It will not taste the same as using prepared.

    Recipe for Horseradish Sauce FAQ

    What’s the difference between prepared horseradish and horseradish sauce?

    Prepared horseradish is grated horseradish root combined with a mixture of vinegar and spices to preserve it in a jar. Horseradish sauce is a sauce made using a combination of prepared horseradish and other condiments and spices to create a sauce.

    Does creamy horseradish have dairy?

    Creamy horseradish sauces generally do include dairy. In this recipe, for example, sour cream is used, which contains dairy. However, you can make horseradish sauce dairy-free by using a vegan sour cream replacement.
