Why This Recipe Works

To accompany our Boneless Rib Roast with Yorkshire Pudding and Jus, we wanted a sharp yet supersimple horseradish sauce. Relying on sour cream rather than mayonnaise or heavy cream gave us the best combination of creamy richness and tang. Not draining the horseradish added just the right amount of heat to this bracing condiment.
