Weight Watchers Herb Crusted Roast Beef and Vegetables

I have several go to recipes and the Weight Watchers Herb Crusted Roast Beef and Vegetables is one of those recipes.  J and I don't eat beef all the time but there are days when I really want it.  Last week was one if those days!

For the recipe you will need:

	1 cup(s) fresh parsley, leaves
	1/4 cup(s) chives, coarsely chopped
	1 Tbsp rosemary
	2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
	2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
	1 tsp table salt
	1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
	32 oz uncooked lean beef round, 1-2 pound) boneless eye roast, trimmed of all visible fat
	4 tsp olive oil
	2 1/2 pound(s) uncooked red potato(es), halved
	2 pound(s) uncooked zucchini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
	2 medium uncooked onion(s), cut into eighths
	1/2 pound(s) uncooked baby carrots   I don't like zucchini so I always use a little more potatoes and some more carrots. Directions: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a large roasting pan with nonstick spray. Mince the parsley, chives, and rosemary together. In a large bowl, combine the herbs with the garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper. Place the beef in the roasting pan. Rub 2 tablespoons of the herb mixture over the top and sides of the beef. Stir the oil into the remaining herb mixture. Add the potatoes, zucchini, onions, and carrots to the bowl and toss well. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer around the meat in the roasting pan. (If you can’t fit all the vegetables in a single layer, use a separate pan to roast the remainder.)  Place the roasting pan in the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Roast the meat and vegetables, stirring and turning the vegetables occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the beef reaches an internal temperature of 140°F for medium-rare, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. It always takes much longer for my vegetables to cook.  So here's my suggested trick.  Put the other pan of veggies in the oven 30 minutes prior to put in the pan with the beef.  If you do that they should be ready. For 8 points, you can have 4 ounces of beef and one cup of vegetables.
