Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ground be'f and cook until heated through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and flour and stir well to combine.
Stir in broth, reduce heat and continue cooking until sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
On prepared baking sheet, arrange bottoms of rolls into a tree shape. Top evenly with ground be'f mixture and vegan shredded cheese.
Bake 6 to 7 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Remove from oven, add top buns and brush with melted Earth Balance®. Return to oven for 3 minutes or until heated through.
Remove from oven and transfer to serving plate. Top with parsley and serve warm.
