Homemade horseradish sauce takes just minutes to whip up and gives a delightful kick to your favorite cut of beef.
There are a few holiday classics in our house. When only hosting our BFFs for Easter, I make some version of beef wellington. Thanksgiving is always spent with our BFFs (aka the family we choose) and includes a mix of classics and newer recipes – at their house. I typically host Christmas Eve and Christmas with an assortment of relatives. Christmas Eve is usually meat-free. I typically serve crab cakes with creole sauce, a real treat. And Christmas day is usually beef tenderloin.
This horseradish sauce is an oldie but a goodie. We make it every Christmas to pair with beef tenderloin, but it would also go great with other cuts of beef…. It takes just a few minutes to whip up and gives each bite a nice little kick.
