This recipe is wonderful. We used a chuck roast with very little fat. I did not have any marjoram to use, but we did add the thyme. The aromas from the oven were absolutely incredible. We left the roast (#3+) in the oven for nearly three hours but could not stand it any longer. It was wonderful - 11/9/09
