Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until beef broth has mostly evaporated. Stir in frozen vegetables and transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Top with cauliflower mash.
