Horseradish Asparagus Roast Beef Roll-Ups

Looking for an easy and delicious appetizer for your dinner party?  Roll up some asparagus in a roast beef and some horseradish cream cheese for an instant elegant appetizer. Horseradish asparagus roast beef roll-ups for the win!

Horseradish Asparagus Roast Beef Roll-Ups

There are times when I find myself serving things that really qualify as appetizers to the Southern husband for dinner.  Cookie sheet nachos.  Scallops wrapped in bacon.  And these addictive horseradish asparagus roast beef roll-ups.  But hey, they all involve a protein and a veggie of some sort, and as far as I’m concerned if you eat enough of them they totally qualify as dinner.  Am I right?  I think I’m right.

In addition, the appetizer approach to dinner is usually, well, QUICK.  I’m all about quick on a busy Wednesday, or even on a Saturday night where the polar vortex has us once again trapped in the house and we want something to nibble on while we watch all those episodes of Outlander that have built up on the DVR.  And so for times like those, here is one of my faves.

Horseradish Asparagus Roast Beef Roll-Ups

They are just as easy as they look.  Cook up a bunch of asparagus just for a few minutes…you want them to still have a nice crunch.  Now mix up some whipped cream cheese (the whipped kind is a lot fluffier and easier to work with than the regular) with some horseradish, and spread it over as many thin slices of roast beef as you want.  Pop an asparagus spear in the middle, roll it up and yes!  You’re done.

I like to arrange mine on a pretty platter and scatter some scallions over the top, even if it is only us and a Wednesday night.  Light a few candles, open a bottle of wine, and Appetizer For Dinner night might turn into a Regular Thing!

    Hi Kate,
    Could I use your photo in a training presentation I am giving about how to eat healthfully on the road? Roast beef wrapped around asparagus or zucchini is one of my go-to snacks and I thought you had a beautiful presentation. I would say photo credited to “framedcooks.com” include a link to your recipe. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Erin
