Whipped Horseradish Sauce
Photography: Thomas J. Story.
Cooks at legendary Alfred’s Steakhouse, in San Francisco, prepared horseradish by whirring small chunks of peeled horseradish root in a food processor with just enough Champagne vinegar to moisten. Store-bought prepared horseradish is fine, but isn’t as fluffy and fresh-tasting. The sauce is terrific with grilled steak.
