Herbed Rib Roast - Weight Watchers

NorthwestGal's Note:

Even though I'm trying to eat healthier, including reducing my intake of red meats, my family really isn't all that open to such an option. So I figured the best compromise would be to at least find healthier recipes. I found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website, and I thought it would be a good choice for special occasion dinner parties. I didn't see the recipe on this site, so I thought I'd post it so others will have the recipe, too. It is worth 6 Points +
