Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Slice the seitan into thin strips and add it to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
