Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained well
- 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. Drain any excess liquid from the prepared horseradish to keep your sauce thick.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, drained prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasoning.
- Taste the sauce. If you desire more sharpness, add a small amount more horseradish. If you prefer it tangier, add a few drops more lemon juice.
- Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve this tangy roast beef topping alongside your favorite roast or steak.
Notes
- For a sauce similar to Ina Garten’s style, focus on using high-quality sour cream.
- If you are serving this for a holiday roast accompaniment, you can prepare it one day ahead.
- To achieve a texture closer to Ruth’s Chris copycat sauce, use a full-fat sour cream.
