This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I used a flank steak that I had grilled the night before. The tortellini and vegetables added a nice heartiness to the stew. I served it with some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious broth.

This stew was easy to make and so delicious! I used ground beef instead of steak, and I added some extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery. It was a great way to warm up on a cold winter night.
