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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
