Pepper Beefless Steak

Peppers were taking over my kitchen so I scoured the internet for a pepper stew recipe and came across a Pepper Steak recipe that sounded fast and easy. I replaced the meat with Trader Joe's Beefless strips, replaced yellow pepper with an orange pepper and bumped up the garlic.
