Recipe courtesy of mikeysbride2b

1 pound piece beef tenderloin (center-cut)

3 tablespoons coarse cracked black pepper

Kosher salt

Olive oil for searing

20 spears of asparagus, blanched until tender

Horseradish mayonnaise:

1 tablespoon prepared grated horseradish

1/2 cup mayonnaise, slightly thin

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Salt and pepper

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Season the entire beef tender with kosher salt and pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until very brown. Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise. In a small bowl combine the horseradish, mayonnaise, and chives. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Remove the meat from the pan and allow to cool completely. Using a very sharp knife, slice the beef into 10 thin slices. Season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of the beef and lay 2 spears of asparagus in the center of each piece of beef. Roll the beef up over the asparagus. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with additional mayonnaise.
