Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds boneless beef chuck roll
• 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 cup beef broth

Marjoram Beef with Onion Gravy: Directions

1. Set the boneless beef chuck roll gently into the bottom of your slow cooker, making sure it sits flat and even.
2. Sprinkle the dried marjoram all over the top of the beef, spreading it out so every part gets some flavor. Then sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the top too.
3. Slowly pour the beef broth around and over the meat, making sure some liquid pools at the bottom to help it cook and stay juicy.
4. Put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on low about8 to 10 hours, or on high for 5 -6 hrs, until the beef is super soft and falls apart easily when you poke it with a fork.
5. Carefully lift the beef out and place it on a big plate or platter. Slice it or pull it apart into shreds using two forks. Spoon some of the warm cooking juices over the top right before you serve it, so it stays moist and full of flavor.
