Pour in the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then return the browned meat to the pot. Cover and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is almost tender.

Stir in the peanut butter until well incorporated. The mixture will become thick. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
