This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the tortellini and the beef, and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have a few pieces of steak or roast beef in my freezer, and this is a great way to use them up.
