Stir in chopped tomato to create a sauce, mixing for about a minute or two.

Add the seared goat meat back into the pot and mix with the sautéed vegetables.

Pour in beef broth to cover the ingredients slightly, adjusting the amount to avoid a soupy consistency.

Add chopped potatoes and carrots to the pot, distributing them evenly.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium, cooking for about 15 minutes.
