Make

Turn on the oven's broiler and place an oven rack about 6" / 15 cm under the heat source.
Place potatoes into a saucepan and cover with cold water and some salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes until potatoes can be easily pierced by a knife. Drain and let sit in a colander for ~5 minutes to let the steam escape (this creates creamier potatoes vs. liquidy potatoes).
While potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and onions to heated oil. Saute until onions are soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add beef and saute until beef is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir in frozen vegetables, aminos, parsley, and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute to heat everything through.
Transfer filling to a lightly greased 8" x 8" / 20 cm x 20 cm baker (for 4 servings; adjust accordingly if customizing servings).
Use a masher to mash steamed potatoes with butter and some salt. Spoon over top of filling and spread to evenly cover.
Broil for 8 to 12 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and honey in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil while whisking. Add mixed greens, grapes, and almonds to vinaigrette. Toss just before serving.
