Instructions

Combine base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth base.
Add seasoning: Stir in the white vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Continue mixing until the sauce is smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
Adjust flavor: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer more heat, add extra horseradish; for a milder flavor, add more sour cream.
Chill: Cover the sauce tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
Serve: Serve the chilled creamy horseradish sauce alongside roast beef, steak, sandwiches, or drizzled over cooked vegetables for a flavorful enhancement.

Notes

Adjust horseradish quantity to control the sauce’s heat level.
The sauce improves in flavor after chilling, so prepare it in advance if possible.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best tangy freshness.
