For optimal flavor, use high-quality roast beef from your favorite deli. Adjust the amount of horseradish to your preference – for a milder flavor, use less; for a spicier kick, add more. These bundles can be prepared a day in advance, making them perfect for entertaining. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Garnish with additional fresh chives or a sprinkle of paprika for an extra touch of visual appeal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBlanch the Asparagus: Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the asparagus spears into the boiling water and cook for precisely 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
02
StepImmediately drain the asparagus and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process and preserve their vibrant green color and crisp texture. (2 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, prepared horseradish, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh chives. Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
04
StepAssemble the Bundles: Lay the thinly sliced roast beef onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each roast beef slice. (10 minutes)
05
StepPlace one blanched asparagus spear onto each slice of roast beef, positioning the tip to slightly overlap one edge. Carefully roll the beef slice around the asparagus, creating a neat bundle. (15 minutes)
06
StepSecure the Bundles: Using a whole chive, gently tie it around the center of each wrapped asparagus bundle, securing the roll and adding a touch of elegance. (10 minutes)
07
StepChill and Serve: Arrange the finished asparagus beef bundles on a serving plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bundles to firm up. (30 minutes)

Feb 14, 2025Make sure the cream cheese is really soft, otherwise it's hard to spread.
