Horseradish Sauce
Horseradish sauce is a well-known sauce accompaniment to prime rib at just about every steak house in the world. It’s a simple combination of raw prepared horseradish and crème Fraiche or sour cream. The goal is to help balance the flavors by adding a bit of spice and sour to the savory-umami taste of roasted meat.
Horseradish is an ancient herb that has been used in cuisine for centuries. It is a large, white, spicy root vegetable with peak seasons in the fall. Most commonly you can get already made in a creamy sauce mixture or raw and shredded and kept in the refrigerated food section of your grocery store.

This is the very best horseradish sauce that I have ever tasted. So creamy and delicious! Much better than what you can buy in the store.
This was delicious. I made for my Christmas Eve dinner. Thank you.
I made this with prime rib last year. The flavor was over the top. Been thinking of it all year. Obviously it’s on the Christmas menu this year.
I made this recipe today in preparation for a prime rib dinner with friends, the flavor is fantastic, this is definitely a keeper
I can’t make your Beautiful Prime Rib without the Creamy Horseradish Sauce to go with it. I like this sauce on many things I even dip my fries in it if I make a Steak, There is so much flavor in this sauce.
This is so good, I would eat it on pancakes ! Brings your prime rib or beef to a whole new level!

Can I get the old creamy horseradish recipe? I saved this for that sauce bc it was amazing I tried the new recipe but not a fan the other one before you changed it was the best sauce and everyone I’ve made it for loves it. Anyway to get that other recipe before you changed it?
I don’t have another one.
For my basically, one time a year prime rib, I always mixed sour cream and horseradish together. I came across Billy’s horseradish sauce and decided to try it! Outstanding! I now use this sauce on ham, turkey and roast beef sandwiches! It’s great with pot roast or corned beef! I would spread this on pancakes! (Just kidding but, close!). Highly recommend! Thanks, Billy!
Wonderful. Made (again) for NYD/wedding anniversary dinner with your perfect rib roast. Favorite dinner.
Made the rib roast and horseradish exactly as printed and it was outstanding! Roast was amazing! My guests were overwhelmed and said it was best they ever had. thank You!
