Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 g) tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 pound (450 g) sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese
- 2 cups (about 8 oz / 225 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix), plus extra for topping
- 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1–2 bell peppers (sliced; any color)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
