Preparation

Step 1

1. Brown the beef in a large skillet then remove the beef and place it in a bowl for later.

2. In a medium sized saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter and then saute the onions and garlic for until they are clear. Remove the saucepan from the stovetop and stir in flour (like you would when making a roux). Gradually stir in the beef stock. Bring the mixture to boiling, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Gradually stir in eggs (or egg yolks). Add the sauce, rosemary, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to meat; mix well.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an baking pan with non-stick vegetable spray. (We like to use a light coating of pure olive oil.)

4. Spoon half the meat mixture into prepared pan. Arrange hard-boiled eggs, end to end, in a circle in center of pan;spread the spinach over the meat.

5. Puree the sweet potatoes in food processor with remaining butter, nutmeg and pepper. Spread 1 cup puree over spinach. Add the remaining meat mixture and then spread over the remaining pureed sweet potatoes.

Bake for 35 minutes or until heated through.
