Sprinkle on the cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices. Then pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Add the browned beef back in, lower the heat, cover it up, and let it gently cook for 45 minutes or so until the beef is tender and the sweet potatoes are nice and soft.
