Albert sauce is a sauce used principally in British cuisine to enhance the flavour of braised beef. It consists of grated horseradish in a clear bouillon, thickened with cream and egg yolks, and spiced with a little prepared mustard diluted in vinegar.
It is named after Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Queen Victoria's prince consort.
