Steak With Horseradish Sauce
Juicy steak paired with a creamy horseradish sauce, perfect for a flavorful dinner that impresses with its bold spices and smooth textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the steak with shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals, making diamond shapes. Repeat on the other side.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the fat-free mayo, reduced-fat sour cream, Dijon mustard, chopped green onions, and prepared horseradish.
- Add the steak to the bag.
- Seal the bag and turn to coat the steak evenly.
- Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to marinate.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider using freshly grated horseradish instead of prepared horseradish. If you're short on time, you can marinate the steak for just 2-4 hours, but overnight will yield the best results. Make sure to use a good quality steak for optimal tenderness. If you want a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak with a generous dollop of the horseradish sauce on top for a zesty finish. It pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad, and you could also serve it alongside mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside dishes like Mom'S Christmas Jello or Holiday Sheet Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through, being careful not to overcook it. Alternatively, you can slice the steak and enjoy it cold in salads or sandwiches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while the recipe is ideal for steak, you can use other cuts like flank steak or sirloin. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the meat. Ensure you still score the surface to allow the marinade to penetrate effectively.
Is it possible to make the horseradish sauce in advance?
Absolutely! The horseradish sauce can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just give it a good stir before serving to refresh its texture.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, to make this recipe gluten-free, ensure that the Dijon mustard you use is labeled gluten-free. Most brands are, but it’s always best to check. The remaining ingredients in the marinade are naturally gluten-free as well.
