It's not particularly photogenic but it's a healthy, easy and tasty dinner.
Beef Carnitas - Range Style
3 lbs venison or (or lean beef) "stew" cuts of meat
1 and 1/2 cups of your favorite salsa (I used Mrs. Renfro's medium heat)
1 and 1/2 cups of your favorite salsa (I used Mrs. Renfro's medium heat)
1 clove chopped roasted garlic (you can used the minced stuff in the jar to equal 1 clove)
3 to 5 chiptole chili peppers in adobo sauce diced (depending on how mild, med or hot you like)
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt
about 6 grinds of the pepper mill
two teaspoons wild honey
1 and 1/2 cups beef soup stock
Just throw all of that in a crock pot (you don't need to brown the meat) and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with tortillas, a few shreds of cheese, slices of avocado and a squeeze of lime. Add a little dollop of sour cream if you are feeling adventuresome.

If you're in the mood for Southwest flavor, venison might also work for Pozole.
Try the carnitas with a good griddle-warmed corn tortilla. I once found decent corn tortillas in Centralia, WA so you should be able to locate some out there on The Range.
God bless you for that. I had beef carnitas for lunch today, and was just thinking that I needed to find a good recipe for same.
Gracias!

Looks great! We love crock pot meals here, especially in the cool weather. Comfort food!
