"A sauce like this only takes minutes, and the results are noticeably superior to their store-bought counterparts. If you are doing a prime rib, or other roast beef, you may want to seriously consider whipping up a batch of this classic horseradish sauce." — Chef John

Not enough horseradishy flavor for our family even after letting it sit for a day in fridge. But then again, our family eats it straight out of the jar and loves it!

I made this to serve with beef tenderloin tonight. Sorry, didn't wait 2 hours before serving and didn't have the chives - but it was delicious and exactly what the tenderloin needed. Definitely a keeper recipe.......

This is delicious. I followed the recipe as written and it's the best horseradish sauce that I have ever had. I made it to go with Christmas prime rib and the next day it was even better. In the fridge overnight it thickened up, and I'm using it as a spread for leftover prime rib sandwiches. I will use this for other sandwiches throughout the year. It would also make a great veggie dip for an appetizer platter.

This stuff is so easy and perfect for my roast beef! I did, however, add about 3 times the amount of horseradish and left out the ever so controversial lemon juice.

We liked it a lot. I did add some salt to make the flavor pop. Thanks for sharing!
