Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel; heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add seitan, and cook until lightly browned about 5 minutes.
Transfer to the bowl with vegetables. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet; add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add diced tomatoes with their juice and reserved marinade to skillet; bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Pour mixture into the bowl with vegetables and seitan. Stir in black beans.
