Beet and Cashew Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

I usually quickly cook a dinner on Tuesday night and head to my girl's bible study, but it ended last week. While I am missing see all the women, it was nice to make a leisure dinner with my hubbie! Tonight we made a stir fry and it was yummy. Evan made a peanut sauce to toss with it that was a big hit! I hope you also enjoy it!

4 small beets
1 medium red onion, diced
2 large carrots, cut into small thin strips
1 large bell pepper, cut into a large dice
1 small head cabbage, thinly sliced
raw, unsalted cashews, chopped
a handful of fresh cilantro leaves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Peanut Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 heaping Tbs peanut sauce
1/8- 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (add 1/8 tsp, taste and add more if you want)
