Loved it! Made for my bone-in prime rib. YUM
Simply good stuff
Excellent if you add a third tablespoon of horseradish. Everyone raves about it. I make dishes solely so I can put this on it.
Took only a couple of minutes and so much better than any I’ve ever bought.
Used this recipe measurements exactly….except I added a dash of fish sauce and a dash of onion powder for a touch of umami. It really goes well with the horseradish. One could probably add a dab of anchovy paste or a little fillet and get the same effect. Very nice flavor.
Delicious! Made with light sour cream and it was really good! Served with prime rib and got rave reviews.
Terrific. Wouldn’t change anything. I double it for our family, and add more cayenne pepper.
As usual Chef John has hit a home run. I used the extra hot horseradish and it was EXTRA HOT and I love hot, but I made the sauce the day before and then it wasn’t quite as hot. Made it for Chef John’s prime rib which came out perfect. You’re the best Chef John. Thanks.
Simple and delicious. Served with beef tenderloin.
Totally worth the time! Won’t eat prime rib with Out this now on!
Delicious sauce to go with anything, but we used it for Chef John’s beef rib roast. Such simple flavors – I followed the recipe exactly and our family loved it.
Made this to go with our “Christmas Prime RIb” and it was delicious, had a really good kick to it. Really quick and easy to make and followed the recipe as is. This will be a staple with any future Prime Rib we make.
The only reason that I didn’t give this 5 stars is because I modified it. I doubled the horseradish and added about 1/2 t of lemon juice. I couldn’t find chives so I used scallions. We loved this and I really loved this on a baked potato!
It was so easy and good!
Didn’t make any changes, it was my first time makeing this recipe.. I added a litte bit less Horseradish, maybe a teaspoon less.. It looks really pretty with the fresh chopped chives & a bit ”hot” with the cayenne pepper, adjusted for taste! Will make this EVERY YEAR for Prime Rib Dinner on Christmas Eve.!
Perfect. I put a wee bit more horseradish b/c I didn’t have the “extra hot” kind. I left out the cayenne b/c hubby doesn’t like it – tasted great. I garnished it with some more chives and a bit of ground mixed peppercorns.
I wanted to try a recipe without mayonnaise.. So I basically used my own fresh horseradish soaking in vinegar. I spooned out about 5 big tablespoons,and added approx 3/4 cup of sour cream,and added a few tablespoons of lemon… I follow my own path! Lol! It was GREAT no other ingredients needed!
Made this for a prime rib using Chef John’s ‘Method X’ to roast it. So good, yum!
Nice flavor; a little thick for my purposes (part of another recipe). Definitely and better tasting than pre-prepared store bought.
Perfect for steak or roast beef.
FANTASTIC sauce! I used it on Firecracker Scallops on this site (separate review there). I used Chef John’s homemade creme fraiche from this site instead of sour cream, but all else was as written. Yum! I love me some Chef John.
