Ninja Grilled Steaks
Description
Steaks are first brought to room temperature and patted dry for optimal searing. They’re drizzled with oil and seasoned well before cooking. The Ninja air fryer is preheated at maximum temperature to ensure a hot environment which helps achieve a quick sear and caramelization. Four minutes per side are recommended, each side topped with small pats of butter which melt and baste the steak during cooking.
After the cooking time, the air fryer is turned off but the steaks remain inside for three minutes to use residual heat for gentle finishing. This yields a steak cooked through yet retaining juiciness. Carryover cooking is balanced with a final rest outside the air fryer for five minutes before slicing or serving.
The method uses common cuts like strip, ribeye, or filet and relies on high heat and butter for flavor and moist texture. Timing and checking doneness are essential for preferred steak temperature.
Ingredients
- 2 New York Strip steak filet mignon, ribeye, or similar steaks
- 2 tbsp avocado oil or other oil with high smoke point
- 4 tbsp butter cut into 8 small pats
- 1 tbsp steak seasoning or steak rub
Instructions
- Let steaks come to room temperature.
- Pat steaks completely dry with paper towel.
- Drizzle steaks with oil.
- Season well.
- Run grill at maximum temp for 5-10 minutes before adding steaks to air fryer to make sure machine is piping hot.
- Add steaks and cook 4 minutes, with two pats of butter on top of each steak. Flip steaks and cook additional 4 minutes with other two pats of butter on the other side.
- Turn the machine off and let the steaks cook in the residual heat without opening for 3 minutes.
- Check steak temperature - see tips and tricks section above for doneness temperatures. Remove and let rest if done, if you'd like it to gain a little more, leave in air fryer longer.
- Let steaks rest on a plate for five minutes after removing from air fryer before slicing or serving.
