Lightly pan-fry for a few minutes, and then add the sausage and the meat. Cook on a high heat for few minutes, add the red wine and let it evaporate. At this point add the chopped tomatoes, the vegetable stock and lower the heat at the minimum. Add salt and pepper, place the lid on the pot in a way it is not completely covered and continue to cook for about 3 hours, stirring every now and then. Add more stock if necessary.
