Looks delicious. I'm definitely going to make this, but I'll probably use the slow cooker and substitute thyme and sage for the oregano.

Easy and so good. I make it a day before I serve it so the flavors develop. This is a winner.

I must of bought the wrong roast because I cooked this for 2 1/2 hours (on stove) and it wasn't even close to being done! I put it in the oven and will have it for supper.

I have made roasts like this, but always rub horseradish on both sides as it browns on the stove top. Can then be cooked on the stovetop or in the oven.
