Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients. You need sour cream, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, drained prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully blended and the sauce is smooth.
Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate the seasonings.
Taste the sauce. If you want more sharpness, add a small amount more prepared horseradish. If you prefer it milder, add another spoonful of sour cream.
Cover the bowl and chill the horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to combine.
Serve this zesty dipping sauce with your prime rib or steak.
Notes
Drain the prepared horseradish well to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.
For a tangier sauce, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
If you are making this ahead of time for a large roast beef dinner, it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
