Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tripped over this recipe while surfing for St Patrick's dinner ideas. Made this sauce on a whim just to mix things up a... bit to jazz up the same old boiled dinner. Suffice to say, this was a huge hit! Folks were raving about how great it was....begging for the recipe. When I confessed about how easy it is to make, folks were amazed. After reviewing the earlier comments and user feedback, I did opt to use freshly grated prepared horseradish from the grocery store. I strained the vinegar from the jarred horseradish in an attempt to cut down on the vinegar taste and overwhelm reported by others. Beyond that, the recipe was followed to the letter. This truly is a great, easy, winning sauce! It was excellent on corned beef. I cannot wait to try it on beef roast or prime rib. I you're hesitating in making this recipe, take the plunge. The folks at my dinner party proclaimed this a winner.Read more

Love this recipe as written! Quick, easy and delicious on our prime rib. Also great on roast beef sandwiches, or any other... time you want that creamy horseradish flavor. It's a classic favorite in our house.Read more

Best Ever and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Alton Brown does it again. Loved this sauce...although like some other people, I used half the vinegar and half the mustard.... This had a nice consistency (make sure you squish the liquid out of the horseradish), was easy to make ahead, and guests raved about it. This will be the only horseradish sauce I will serve from here on out. (Makes me want to make a roast just for the sauce!)Read more

Yummy!

I made smoked prime rib for Christmas & this cream sauce is the perfect compliment. The bonus is that it only took me a... minute to put this sauce together. All I have to say is...YUMMY!Read more
