This creamy Horseradish Sauce without Sour Cream is the perfect accompaniment for any beef. So easy. It only takes 5 minutes to make!
We love making our own sauces around here. Most of them are so easy. They take less than 5 minutes to make and have a fresh taste, rather than buying processed.
Horseradish is a wonderful compliment to any beef, strip loin, prime rib. It’s great on roast beef sandwiches too. See our easy horseradish crusted beef tenderloin.
This sauce is perfect for family members with dairy intolerance. Learn how to make it two easy ways, from scratch or with a few prepared ingredients.
What is horseradish?
Horseradish is the root of the horseradish plant. Which is a member of the brassica family. (Brussels sprouts, radishes, broccoli, kale) If you think about it all of those can have a little spicy, peppery bite.
Horseradish root is readily grown in temperate climates. It’s hardy in zones 3-9, which is much of the US and Canada. It can become invasive though, so it is best to contain it.
It spreads by the roots so plant it contained in pots. (We actually buried an old kiddie pool that had holes drilled in it for drainage, so that we could have a small patch.)
