Ingredients for Beef Apple Arugula Appetizers

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Fresh Horseradish
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Tart Green Apples
  • 8 ounces roast beef
  • A small handful of arugula leaves

How to Make Beef Apple Arugula Appetizers

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  2. In a separate bowl, toss 1 medium apple, thinly sliced, with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Cut 8 ounces roast beef into strips approximately 1-inch wide and 5-to 7-inches long.
  4. Place one apple slice and a small handful of arugula leaves on the short end of each beef strip, allowing them to slightly extend beyond the edges. Top with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the horseradish cream.
  5. Carefully roll up each beef strip and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Wrap the appetizers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
