Steakhouse Creamy Horseradish Sauce
Creamy, punchy, and full of flavour, this is your classic horseradish sauce with a little extra personality. It’s smooth, tangy, and perfectly balanced to cut through roast beef, steak, or sandwiches without overpowering them. Simple ingredients, but it delivers big deli-style flavour.

- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

Notes
Variations
- Add 1 tsp honey for a slightly rounded heat and classic deli-style balance.
- Add a small splash of Worcestershire sauce for a deeper, savoury flavour.
- Use grainy mustard instead of Dijon for a more rustic texture, or do half Dijon and half grainy mustard for a smooth but textured balance.
- Prime rib
- Roast beef sandwiches
- Beef tenderloin
- Steak bites
- Burgers
- Roast beef sliders
- Pot roast plates
- Make Ahead: Best made a few hours in advance so the flavours can fully develop.
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days.
- Freezer: Not recommended, as the texture may separate.
- Serve chilled.
