Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake
Need a dessert for Sunday dinner that sits in the fridge while you get everything else done?

Ingredients
2 lb. strawberries
2 sleeves graham crackers
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

Directions
1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them about ¼ inch thick. Set the nicest slices aside for the top.
2. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and free of lumps, about 2 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Line the bottom of a 9x13 dish with graham crackers, spread a third of the cream over them and add a layer of strawberries.
5. Repeat twice more, ending with cream, then cover the top with the saved strawberry slices.
6. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight, until the crackers are soft enough to cut with a spoon.

Chinese Pepper Steak
I made this twice last week because takeout never gives me enough of the sauce.

Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp Shaoxing w**e or dry sherry
3 tbsp soy sauce, divided
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp cornstarch stirred into ⅓ cup water
3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
2 green bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 large onion, cut into wedges
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp grated ginger
Steamed rice, for serving

Directions
1. Toss the beef with 1 tbsp cornstarch, the w**e and 1 tbsp soy sauce, then let it sit for 15 minutes.
2. Stir together the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, the oyster sauce, the sugar and the cornstarch water.
3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat until it shimmers. Sear the beef in one layer for about 1 minute per side until browned, then move it to a plate.
4. Add the last 1 tbsp oil and stir-fry the peppers and onion for 2–3 minutes until bright green and soft at the edges but still crisp. Add the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
5. Put the beef back in, pour in the sauce and toss for about 1 minute until it bubbles and turns thick and glossy. Spoon it over steamed rice.

Seafood Lasagna
The one step people skip: let it rest 15 minutes after baking, or the creamy layers slide apart.

Ingredients
12 lasagna noodles
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb lump crab meat
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, divided
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan
15 oz ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup marinara sauce
3 cups shredded mozzarella
Salt and pepper

Directions
1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Cook the noodles 8 to 9 minutes, until just tender, then drain and lay them flat on oiled foil.
2. Toss the shrimp with half the Cajun seasoning and sear in the oil 1 to 2 minutes per side, until just pink. Keep 12 whole for the top and chop the rest.
3. Melt the butter, cook the garlic 30 seconds, stir in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and cream. Simmer 4 to 5 minutes until it coats a spoon, then stir in the Parmesan, the rest of the Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
4. Mix the ricotta with the egg and parsley.
5. Spread the marinara in a 9x13 dish. Layer noodles, ricotta, chopped shrimp and half the crab, white sauce and mozzarella, three times. Finish with the remaining crab, the whole shrimp and the last of the mozzarella.
6. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 15 minutes more, until bubbling and golden at the edges.
7. Rest 15 minutes before cutting, so the sauce sets and the slices hold their shape.

No Peek Beef Tips
Five ingredients, one 13x9 pan, and three hours where you do not lift that foil.

Ingredients
2 lbs stew meat
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet brown gravy mix
1 envelope beefy onion soup mix
1 can water

Directions
1. Heat the oven to 300°F.
2. Put the stew meat in a 13x9 pan. Add the soup, the gravy mix, the onion soup mix and one soup can of water, and stir until the meat is coated.
3. Cover the pan tightly with foil so no steam escapes.
4. Bake for 3 hours. No peeking, the trapped steam is what makes the meat tender.
5. Take off the foil and stir. The meat should fall apart with a fork and the gravy should be thick and brown.
6. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.
