1. 1

   Cut the tempeh into 1/4-inch-thick slices crosswise, then cut these in half lengthwise to get narrow strips.

4. 4

   Saute over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

5. 5

   Gently stir in the green beans and bell pepper and turn the heat to medium-high.

6. 6

7. 7

   Stir in the gravy, top with almonds if desired, and serve at once.

8. 8

   To make this dish, you have two recipes to follow (the dish itself and the gravy), so give yourself a break and complete the meal with no further recipes.
