  • Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions, each cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 boneless beef round tip roast (4 lb)
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Fresh oregano sprigs, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, place onion wedges. Sprinkle with half each of the salt, pepper and oregano. Drizzle with oil.
  • 2
    If beef roast comes in netting or is tied, do not remove; place beef on onions. Sprinkle beef with remaining salt, pepper and oregano.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours. Remove beef to cutting board; keep warm. Strain onions and cooking liquid into 2-quart saucepan; reserve onions.
  • 4
    In small bowl, stir water and flour until well blended; stir into cooking liquid. Cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until gravy is thickened and bubbly.
  • 5
    Remove netting from beef if necessary. Cut beef into slices; place on serving platter. Surround beef with onions. Serve with gravy; garnish with fresh oregano.

  • Make the gravy in the slow cooker instead of on the stove-top by removing roast and onions. Stir flour mixture into reserved liquid; cover and cook on High heat setting 10 to 15 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
  • Vary the herbs by using Italian seasoning, dried thyme or dried basil instead of the oregano.
