A REAL SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: JOE'S SPECIAL
Joe's Special is comfort food, plain and simple, made of onion, spinach, ground sirloin and eggs. It's an old recipe that makes the type of food we like to cook today -- hearty and healthful, quick and easy. It was introduced in San Francisco in the 1920s. There are many versions of this recipe but none on this site just like this one. Serve Joe's Special as a lunch or dinner meal, but it can also be a protein-filled breakfast dish, often with hash browns and toast on the side. Recipe is from our local food writer, Jan D'Atri.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the tri-tip with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the tri-tip and saute until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, shallot and mushrooms, then season with salt and pepper and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the egg yolks, if using, and quickly stir to cook through. Stir in the Parmesan. Taste for seasoning and serve hot garnished with more Parmesan. Eat with spoons.
