Ruth's Chris Horseradish Sauce Recipe

This copycat Ruth's Chris sauce is pure magic with steak! The kick of horseradish mixed with a smooth, creamy base makes every bite incredible!
The key is using fresh horseradish instead of the jarred kind. The sharpness and intensity is huge.
I always balance the heat with a little sour cream. It mellows out the sharpness just enough without dulling the punch.
Mixing the ingredients ahead of time and letting the sauce sit for at least an hour gives it a deeper, well-rounded taste.
A pinch of salt and a tiny splash of lemon juice make all the difference in brightening up the flavors without overpowering the horseradish!
