CREAMY HORSERADISH SAUCE!! PERFECT FOR STEAK!!

Happy Memorial Day! The time and date of this post will reflect that we are observing Memorial Day here in the United States. This is the unofficial kick off of summer. Traditionally, a time of graduations, the end of the traditional school calendar and the start of family vacations and fun in the sun and that includes barbecues and grilling out! Today we are sharing a delicious, quick and easy recipe for a creamy horseradish sauce that will be the perfect accompaniment for all those steaks you are going to throw on the grill this summer! This is steakhouse worthy and amps up your BBQ cred for sure. I know you and your family are going to love this!

Horseradish has long been a favorite of mine. I grew up having it in the fridge. Mom would use it to mix with mayo for a sandwich spread for a tender roast beef sandwich, she would also toss a spoonful or two into some mashed potatoes for a delicious kick. My favorite way to enjoy horseradish though, is just a scoop on my plate to eat bite for bite with roast beef or steak. I love the tangy bite it gives the tender meat, but I know it isn't for everyone and yes, I even love the sinus rush you get from the heat when it hits your soft palate. Maybe I'm just weird.

I was not introduced to horseradish cream until I was an adult and had the fortune to eat at a five star restaurant. While delicious, I still preferred the plain old spicy horseradish. But that being said, creamy horseradish sauce is a delicious combination of the two. While the fancy schmancy version is horseradish and creme fraiche folded into whipped heavy cream, my version is a bit simpler and not so expensive. Its the perfect option for making at home and even having on hand in your fridge for other things besides cozying it up to a beautiful steak hot off the grill.

While there may be several different ways to make this my version starts with plain old sour cream. I will say a good quality variety of sour cream is definitely needed here. Check the ingredients. Sour cream should only have cream and cultures. No thickeners such as xanthan or guar gum. only cream and culture. This will ensure that your sour cream is not going to separate. To the sour cream I like to add a healthy dose of grated horseradish from a jar. You can usually find this in the dairy section of the grocery store. You always want to be sure to buy it from the refrigerator case and not off the shelf. Fresh horseradish has a pungency that is not replaceable by anything else. It is my experience that you either love it or you don't so if you don't this may not be the thing for you. I like to add in a fair amount of freshly snipped chives along with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Whisk it all together and then place it in a bowl in your fridge for at least an hour to allow all those flavors to meld and get friendly.

That's it! Super simple, but so amazingly delicious you will be so happy to have it on hand. I love to serve this with a steak and on the night we made this video for you were were indeed having grilled ribeyes along with shrimp skewers and grilled zucchini. The shrimp were equally delicious dipped in this creamy sauce as will be vegetables on your crudite tray. This is a great dip to serve with chips or as a spread for sandwiches. You make this work for you in the best way that suits your needs. Rick likes it draped over grilled asparagus. Go figure!

I hope you will give this creamy horseradish sauce a try sometime soon and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
