Ingredients

  • 1 3 pound boneless beef round tip roast, trimmed

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 3 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

  • 2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed

  • 2 tablespoon panko bread crumbs

  • 1 ½ pound baby Dutch potatoes

  • 4 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 small or 2 large zucchini

  • 1 recipe Mustard Sauce

Mustard Sauce

  • ½ cup Dijon-style mustard

  • ½ cup light sour cream

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Sprinkle meat with 1/2 tsp. of the salt. Brush with mustard and sprinkle with fennel seeds. Press panko onto meat.

  2. Place meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast 1 3/4 to 2 hours for medium-rare (135°F) or 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours for medium (150°F).

  3. Meanwhile, halve any large potatoes; place potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of the oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp. of the salt and 1/4 tsp. of the garlic powder; toss to coat. Add potatoes to one side of roasting pan the last 1 hour of roasting or until tender.

  4. Wipe out large bowl. In bowl combine cheese, oregano, pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp. garlic powder. Cut zucchini crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, cutting almost to other side.* Stuff cheese mixture between slices; drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil. Add zucchini to other side of roasting pan the last 30 minutes of roasting or until tender.

  5. Remove from oven. Cover meat with foil; let stand 15 minutes. The temperature of the meat will rise 5°F to 10°F during standing. Thinly slice meat. Serve with potatoes, zucchini, and Mustard Sauce.

Mustard Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, combine Dijon-style mustard, reduced fat sour cream, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

*Tip

To prevent slicing all the way through, arrange chopsticks or wooden spoons lengthwise on opposite sides of zucchini. Cut zucchini into slices, stopping when the knife reaches the chopsticks.
