Ingredients
Scale
- 12 asparagus spears, trimmed to 4 inches long
- 1 cup whipped cream cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons horseradish
- 12 thin slices rare roast beef
- 1 scallion, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook asparagus until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes depending upon how thick it is. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to cool them, then dry them on paper towels.
- Mix together the cream cheese and the horseradish, using more or less horseradish depending upon how spicy you like things!
- Spread each slice of roast beef carefully with the cream cheese mixture. Place an asparagus spear at the end of each one and roll them up.
- Arrange on a pretty platter, sprinkle with scallions and serve!
Notes
- Asparagus: The thicker asparagus work best for this recipe, although any kind will do.
- Cream Cheese: We find that whipped cream cheese is the best texture for this recipe, but you can use regular cream cheese as well..bring it to room temperature first for easiest spreading.
- Roast Beef: This is the time to get the good stuff from the deli counter! As for it to be sliced thinly.
- Horseradish: This spicy root vegetable is from the mustard family, and is usually available grated and jarred with vinegar. Look for it in the condiments aisle.
