How to Make Asparagus Beef Roll Ups
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a large skillet.
- Add 1 pound asparagus spears, cover, and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Immediately transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Remove asparagus from ice water, drain, and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, with 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish. Mix well.
- Pat 8 ounces thinly sliced beef (such as sirloin or flank steak) dry with paper towels.
- Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each beef slice.
- Top each beef slice with 1-2 asparagus spears, depending on size.
- Roll up the beef tightly and secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
