"Very tender traditional roast made with beef gravy." — desimone.ray

Directions

Pour the gravy into a slow cooker, and mix with water until smooth. Stir in half the thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion salt.
Mix the remaining thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion salt in a bowl, and stir in the olive oil to make a paste. Rub the paste all over the beef roast, and place the roast into the gravy. Place the lid on the slow cooker, and set to low setting.
Cook until the roast is very tender and the gravy is thickened, 8 to 9 hours.

I added the same amount of parsley as the rest of the ingredients (to make it officially simon and garfunkel style) and it was very good. I will make it again!!!

We liked this but next time I would cut way back on all the spices other then the onion (I used onion powder instead of onion salt as I didn't have any). I also would not add any water next time. I think I would go with the other reviewer that only used a teaspoon of each spice.

This was really yummy. I only put in a teaspoon of each spice though and I added pepper. Made French Load to go with it!

I really enjoyed this recipe although I made a few modifications. The spices added a lot of flavor but wasn't overpowering. I mixed all of the herbs with the oil and spread it on the roast. I then seared the roast on all sides to lock in the flavor (got the idea from Marie's pot roast recipe). Then I added the roasted to the liquid ingredients in addition to a sliced onion and some garlic cloves. Once it was cooked I made some of the juices into gravy. Delish!

For those who thought there was too much herb, try using fresh herbs, chopped finely, in the same amounts. Dried herbs are pretty intense, especially a tablespoon of each. Needs onion, celery, and garlic, and of course, fresh parsley to finish the song.

This was OK overall and liked the use of jarred gravy, but WAY too much spice for my tastebuds. It might be OK if the spice was cut by at least 1/2. Smelled OK while cooking, but could tell it was going to be a strong flavor. If you like strong flavors, you'll love this. Me, not so much.
