I am a believer that horseradish is an acquired taste. The first time you try it, the spicy zippiness catches you off guard. The next time, after you know what's coming, you can appreciate it a bit more. Then on, if you're like me, you'll start daydreaming of different dishes that could involve horseradish.

There are so many different ways to enjoy horseradish! I love it with a thick cut of prime rib. And I can't eat a hot dog without my horseradish mustard. Then there's horseradish cheese. Have you heard of that one? If you are a horseradish fan, I highly suggest you check it out.

This recipe uses horseradish in a cool horseradish cream sauce that pairs perfectly with beef tenderloin. Beefy flavors stand up well to the bold horseradish.

Once you try this horseradish sauce on your steak, you won't want to have it any other way. I hope you love it as much as I do!

How to Make Creamy Horseradish Sauce

Should I Use Sour Cream or Plain Greek Yogurt For This Horseradish Sauce Recipe?

If you've never tried plain Greek yogurt, you might be surprised to find that it is very similar to sour cream. Both have a creamy texture and a little bite to their flavor. I've found them to be interchangeable in just about any recipe! This recipe for horseradish sauce works well with both, so you can choose whichever one you have on hand or prefer.

What to Serve Horseradish Sauce On

This easy recipe uses horseradish in a cool creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with steak. Beefy flavors stand up well to the bold horseradish. Try it with a gorgeous filet mignon, a flavorful New York Strip, or a perfect Grilled Ribeye. Beef isn't the only protein that pairs well with this creamy horseradish sauce, though. Try it on baked chicken breast, pork tenderloin, or even salmon! It's even amazing drizzled over roasted veggies, slathered on roast beef sandwiches, on baked potatoes, or as a chip dip!

What is Prepared Horseradish?

Horseradish is a root vegetable. Prepared horseradish jarred fresh horseradish root that has been peeled and finely minced/grated and combined with a little bit of vinegar and water. You find prepared horseradish in the condiment aisle or in the refrigerator section of your grocery store near the refrigerated pickles.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
