In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground lamb over medium-high heat. Drain off excess fat.

Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer and reduce by half.

Add the beef broth, marjoram, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

While the filling simmers, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain well.

Mash the potatoes with butter and warm milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir the crumbled sirene and egg yolk into the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.
