Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed seitan and sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the seitan from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the diced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced bell peppers and chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the browned seitan to the skillet and mix well to coat with the sauce. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Stir in the lime juice and freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the Vegan Beef Shashlik Curry hot with rice or naan.
