Why do you put horseradish on the prime rib?

Horseradish pairs well with richer cuts of beef, such as prime rib, as it cuts through the rich flavor to give the beef a lighter taste. This makes it a great choice for prime rib and roast beef sandwiches, though it also pairs well with steak, beef tenderloin, and even burgers.
