Ingredients 

• 4 Meati Classic Steak Cutlets, thawed 
• 8 c water 
• 4 c green bell peppers, cut into ¼-inch strips 
• 3 c white onions, cut into ¼-inch strips 
• ½ c Roasted Vegetable Base

2. To a medium pot over medium-high heat, add the water, bell peppers, onions, roasted vegetable base, garlic, chili flakes, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let cook until peppers are soft and liquid has reduced, about 30 minutes.
