Horseradish Cream Sauce Recipe

It’s no surprise I’m a huge fan of sandwiches, and meat, and all things delicious really. What I find is that condiments can sometimes make the meal. This is especially true for sandwiches. On that note, smooth and creamy horseradish sauce might just be the king of condiments, at least for me anyway. Whether it’s on a smoked roast beef sandwich, or served alongside an amazing prime rib roast, or even on a beef tenderloin, this one is a winner.

For this quick and easy horseradish sauce recipe we’ll be using fresh horseradish root. You can use the prepared horseradish in a jar that can be found at most grocery stores, but the horseradish flavor in those jars is often inconsistent. For that reason, I really prefer the fresh grated horseradish which is more consistent and intense in flavor. If you can’t find the fresh root, or just prefer the jarred stuff, this is prepared horseradish I recommend.

Where To Buy Horseradish Root

There are a number of online produce retailers that sell horseradish root. Seems you can order just about anything delivered directly to your door these days. So, if you can’t find it at your local grocery store (they are in the produce section) do a quick google search and you’ll find several outfits that will deliver this right to your doorstep. You can even find horseradish root here on Amazon if that’s more convenient.

Can I Store Homemade Horseradish Cream Sauce?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, I find that the sauce is actually better the day after it’s made. Storage in an airtight container in the refrigerator allows the flavors from the root to meld well with the sour cream. If you can’t make this sauce the day before you’re planning to use it, try to get it made a few hours ahead of time. Again, this allows the flavors to come together.

Be sure to note the expiration date of the sour cream and don’t keep it any longer than that. My suspicion though, is that you won’t have to worry about this sauce going bad. You’re going to want to put this stuff on everything.
