This sauce is usually served with a big, juicy steak for good reason: The pairing is magical. But that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious in other applications. Try it on a baked potato, as a sauce for shrimp, drizzled over roasted asparagus, or as a substitute for mayonnaise.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2/3 cup (5 ounces) prepared horseradish

Serve with Grilled Prime Rib or smear on a roast beef sandwich.
