Ingredients

Venison Roast, cutlets, or stew meat can use beef tips or beef roast instead
2-3 Cups baby carrots
2-3 baking potatoes cubed
1 yellow onion chunked
12 oz jar Pepperochini peppers or slices with juice
1 packet roast or beef stew seasoning packet
1 packet dry ranch dip mix
1 stick butter
32 Oz box of beef broth
1 can french onion soup optional
Egg noodles optional
1 Cup non-fat greek yogurt

Instructions

Trim all silver skin from meat and wash.
Place meat in the bottom of a slow cooker.
Cut up onion in large chunks and place on top of meat.
Cube potatoes and place on top with carrots.
Top with broth, pepperoncinis, seasoning packets, and butter.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
Shake the crockpot periodically to settle meat and veggies into the cooking liquid, but keep the lid on!
When ready to serve, use a slotted spoon and remove meat, onions, carrots and peppers to a serving plate or bowl.
Pour liquid into a sauce pan and cook on high to reduce liquid by half.
Boil water for noodles.
Cook for 9 minutes and drain.
Stir butter and season all into hot noodles.
If desired, make a gravy from the sauce or add in 1 cup non-fat greek yogurt to make a creamy sauce.
Serve layered dinner - noodles, carrots and meat, sauce.

Notes

The butter in this recipe really helps keep the meat moist and the beef broth brings in the beef flavor. It always sounds so weird to use these peppers but combined with the dry ranch, they add a welcomed tang that is just perfect. I love serving the sauce with greek yogurt in it to make it creamy like stroganoff, but you can easily just serve the au jus and eat with noodles or rice as a side.
