You can trade peanut butter for fat since it's not all fat.

Larding or barding meat, poultry, or game is often necessary to enhance moisture and flavor during roasting.

This is particularly important for lean cuts that lack enough natural fat to stay tender and juicy. Additionally, the added fat can impart rich flavors to the dish as it renders during cooking.
