Combine garlic, vinegar and thyme. Pour mixture over beef, cover,
and refrigerate for 6 hours to thoroughly marinate.
Meanwhile, cook carrots in salted water 20 minutes or until nearly
tender. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove beef from marinade, pat dry with
paper towels.
Remove beef from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, place with
long side of each steak overlapping 2 inches. Pound overlap together with
meat mallet. Spread spinach over entire surface. Arrange cooked carrots
crosswise over spinach. Sprinkle with parsley, salt, red pepper, egg
wedges and onion rings.

string, slice beef and strain cooking liquid.
This dish is normally served refrigerated with the beef very cold,
which makes for much easier slicing and serving.
