Combine flour, salt, thyme, marjoram and pepper in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. In batches, add beef cubes to flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to plate. In large nonstick skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef, in batches and adding more oil as needed, for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned on all sides. With slotted spoon, transfer to 3-1/2 to 6-quart (3.5 to 6 L) slow cooker.
