For next-day’s main course salad or sandwich, set aside 2 cups (500 mL) each of the roasted veggies and slivered thinly sliced roasted beef.

Directions

Roasted Vegetables: In large bowl, combine tomatoes, zucchini, onion, eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, garlic and pesto; toss to coat. Spread on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet lightly coated with vegetable cooking spray; set aside.
Heat oil in heavy sauté pan or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper; brown all over, turning with tongs, about 10 minutes. Spread pesto all over roast; place on rack in same sauté pan. Insert oven safe meat thermometer into centre of roast. Cook beef and vegetables, uncovered, in 275°F (140°C) oven until thermometer reads 145°F(63°C) for medium-rare, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Remove roast to cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Using rubber spatula, scrape vegetables into large bowl; toss with vinegar and honey. Carve roast into thin slices across the grain.
