Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tbsp prepared horseradish (drained of excess liquid)
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp minced chives
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, Dijon mustard, prepared horseradish, black pepper, minced chives, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly blended, creating a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the sauce chill for about 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to marry and develop a balanced and enhanced taste.
- Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, give the sauce a final stir and serve it alongside prime rib or as a flavorful spread on sandwiches to add a zesty, creamy touch to your meal.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any leftover sauce into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep well for up to 4 days, maintaining its freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Drain excess liquid from prepared horseradish to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
- Adjust horseradish quantity to your preferred level of heat and pungency.
- Use full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for a richer texture and flavor.
- Chilling the sauce enhances the flavor blending and improves the overall taste.
- Store covered in the refrigerator and consume within 4 days for best quality.
