Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (19 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini

Instructions
- Prepare Meat & Veggies: Slice steak against the grain. Slice bell pepper into thin strips and dice onion. Sauté steak and vegetables in olive oil until tender and slightly caramelized. Season with Montreal steak seasoning.
