Question: I hate horseradish. If a cream sauce for beef calls for it could I sub dijon mustard?

That sounds good or even a blue cheese sauce too.

Absolutely. You may want to go easy with the dijon, tasting and adding more as desired.

You could use Austrian Green Sauce.

This green herbal sauce is served with a classic Austrian beef dish called Tafelspitz:

Grüner Soße
200 gr Mayonnaise
200 gr. Sour Cream
2 Eggs, hard-boiled
1 Dill Pickle
1 bunch of green onions
Seven Herbs:
-Parsley
-Chives
-Borrage
-Lemon Balm
-Tarragon
-Chervil
-Sorrel
Salt
Pepper
Lemon juice and zest

Stir together the mayo and sour cream. Dice the egg, cucumber, and green onions and stir into the mayo.

Take a mixture of the herbs and chop finely, you should have about 1 cup after chopping. Stir into the mayo. You can sub other green herbs to suit your taste and/or availability.

Freshen to taste with the lemon juice and zest, and salt and pepper.


Grüner Soße
200 gr Mayonnaise, am besten selbstgemacht
200 gr. Schmand oder saure Sahne
2 Eier; hartgekocht
1 Gewürzgurke
1 Zwiebel
Sieben Kräuter:
-Petersilie
-Schnittlauch
-Borretsch
-Zitronenmelisse
-Estragon
-Kerbel
-Sauerampfer
Salz
Pfeffer
Zitrone: Saft und Schale



Für die grüne Sauce eine Mayonnaise herstellen, diese mit dem Schmand verrühren. Die Eier würfeln, die Gurke und die Zwiebel in feine Würfel schneiden. Die Kräuter fein hacken und mit Eiern, Gurke und Zwiebel unter die Mayonnaisemasse mischen. Mit Salz, Pfeffer,
Zitronensaft und -schale kräftig abschmecken.

Mit neuen Kartoffeln zum dünn quer zur Faser aufgeschnittenen Tafelspitz servieren.

Ina Garten has a lovely blue cheese sauce she serves with beef.

 

[marsha-tbay]

Thank you all and thank you Richard. Is this a recipe you brought home from a trip?

 

[marsha-tbay]

Ang, I did a search on Finer Kitchens and on Food tv, didn't find this recipe you mention

 

[angak]

I think she calls it gorgonzola sauce. I'll do some checking. Thought it would be easy to find

I added the link for recipezaar recipe. The FoodTV recipe "expired"

 

[marsha-tbay]

Ang, thank you for hunting it down for me.

Marsha, yes, this is a classic Viennese sauce.

from a cookbook I brought back from Austria when I was a student there.
