Notes

Other Ingredients. Customize with mayonnaise, lemon juice, heavy cream, chopped chives, or other fresh herbs.

Heat Level. Add more prepared horseradish for extra zing, a pinch of cayenne for dry heat, or a splash of your favorite hot sauce to really turn it up.

Fresh vs. Prepared Horseradish. Both work great. Fresh root gives more pronounced flavor but needs a day in the fridge to fully develop. Prepared horseradish is faster and still delivers.

Serving Suggestions. Excellent with prime rib, seared steak, beef tenderloin, or a roast beef sandwich.
