Peel potatoes and place them in a pot of salted water.

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and milk until creamy.

In a skillet, heat clarified butter and add chopped onions, cooking until softened.

Season onions with salt to help bring out moisture.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Crumble in a beef bouillon cube and mix well.

Add Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme, stirring to combine.

Add garlic and tomato paste, cooking until the tomato paste's sourness is cooked out.

Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and enough water to cover the mixture.

Cook uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Dissolve gravy granules in boiling water and stir into the mixture to thicken further, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve the savory mince over the mashed potatoes.
