I made this New Years Day for my family Christmas Dinner and everyone loved it! It took a little more prep time since I had to slice the steak thinner because it using the meat tenderizer wasn't working. It turned out delicious. I think a new family tradition has begun!

(Review is a little long, but might be useful to others:
Overall good recipe. It is easy, but a little time consuming. Very good ingredients, work very well together. My daughter said it was very fancy!

Sauce: Sauce is fantastic, even my children liked it. I used egg noodles to accompany the meat and sauce and thought those would work best, and was right, the sauce is thick and worked well with the egg noodles.

Stuffing: I used spinach instead of arugula and I cooked the spinach in salted water for about 30 seconds and then transferred the spinach to cold water to stop the cooking. (Make sure to squeeze out extra water when you do this.I think that worked well with the stuffing. I also used parmasean cheese from a jar (I know, I know, but was too lazy to grate it myself. The dry parmasean worked great, but might add some fresh next time just for some other texture.

Meat: I used a flank steak, but my mistake was not cutting into 8 steaks to roll individually. I think this would have helped afterwards so I didn't have to cut into individual rolls with the stuffing inside, thus stuffing coming out. Also, cooking time wasn't long enough, the meat turned out medium-rare. Unless you like it that way, which we don't, make sure to make the steak into smaller steaks like I suggested above. I had to put into the oven for a little longer cooking time.

This is the first time I had this recipe, and I can't wait to try to make it again!

This meal was great. I did modify it a bit though. I used baby spinach instead of arugula and my sauce was different. I used baby bellas instead of criminis and left out the beef broth and tomato paste. Instead I sauteed the mushrooms and added the flour, using red wine instead of the broth and tomato paste. It was awesome.

I made this for my husband who isn't particularly picky about what he eats. Now he askes that I make it every week. It takes me longer than 30 minutes to prepare/cook, but it is such a wonderful meal, you can't go wrong!

I made this last night using skirt steak and my whole family loved it. The braciole I grew up with contained pine nuts and raisins. Perhaps you might try adding that.
