Frequently Asked Questions
Prime rib and beef sirloin are the most obvious choice to serve with this horseradish cream sauce. However, you can also serve this sauce with french dip sandwiches, pork tenderloin, or spoon some over some smashed potatoes!
This sauce will last in the fridge for a few days, but make sure to use a little less horseradish since the flavors will become stronger as it sits!
