That's about how I do it! I like that you use max for steak, I do too. I never understood why the ninja manual says to just use high when I thought it was common knowledge that with steaks you cook with as high of heat as possible.
I have found max for any cooker is best for steaks. Unless, the cooker hits 800+° F. Then, a slightly lower temperature may be better 😅 Although, I know some custom steak cookers do 1000° F. See th-cam.com/video/ujtpDaRMCjI/w-d-xo.html
Tried cooking a t-bone last night soon as I unboxed my grill - despite not knowing how to use the grill's features I got it done and the steak was cooked perfectly and the taste was awesome, couldn't bellieve how quickly it cooked and on both sides. I'm in LOVE.
Exactly why I pull my chicken breast off at 155 degrees and let it finish cooking off the heat, I hate a dry out any meat or meats, I'm a retired executive chef, you must be a chef you are well organize in your kitchen and you wear throw away gloves when you touch your game product. no cross contamination. germs live on our hands. Salute to this video. best one I ran across; you get straight to the point.
Good show and demonstration. I use my Foodi constantly, we even bring it along to use in the RV. It's fast, less messy, easy clean up. Meat, fish, chicken it does it all. You can also cook vegetables while your cooking the meat. I recommend this appliance highly.
You cooked those just like I would have done. Great job. I bought my grill last November and just got it out. About to cook some steaks and bacon with it
Nice step-by-step tutorial on how to set up the Ninja Foodi XL Grill for cooking a steak! Just bought my grill yesterday and made one of the marinades they provided the recipe for. I have a nice NY strip streak with bone-in soaking in it for about 6 hrs. and will be cooking it up later tonight using the smart probe to cook it to a medium rare doneness.
I grilled a thick steak house cut of New York strip on medium well, with a TH-cam recipe and it was absolutely fantastic! Best Christmas gift from my wife ever!
Yummy makes my mouth water and my stomach hungry... I have the Ninja® Foodi 4-in-1 Indoor Grill and love it for steaks. I might have to consider trying this model too... Thanks Darnell for another outstanding video!
Finally! Thank you SO much for this demo/review~ exactly what we've been looking for, which seems to be hard to find someone cooking their steaks beyond Rare/Med.Rare. Our main concern is whether or not this machine gives a good crisp & browning to the fat portion of the meat, which you clearly demonstrate & show here. Appreciate your time & effort, as we are shopping for a new grill/air fryer & this one has been at the top of the research list. We also prefer our beef cooked to MediumWell~ thanks again =)
Delicious looking steaks Mr. Darnell! It's good the grill plate is removable on this grill. Also, have you moved? Or replaced your countertop? Very nice video as always!
I’m going to try steaks in my foodi smart Xl tomorrow. Hope they come out good. Only thing I’ll do different. Mine will be med-rare and once there out and resting, I’ll put some melted butter on them. Finger’s crossed.
Anyone know an average time? My probe seems to heat up faster than the steak. I made sure it was in the middle and not sticking out but the probe just shot up as soon as I stuck the steak on. In like 2 min it told me they were done which they weren’t.
Grilling a steak this morning on my Ninja Smart Grill..the 6 in 1 with the temp probe..scrambled cheese eggs and some strawberries with a huge ass glass orange juice.
My friend had one and we cook on it but it taste different. Nothing beats the charcoal grilled 😋 taste. I would still spend the time to start up the charcoal grilled. But the ninja foodi grilled is more like a quick steak.
The way that the temp registers the current state of doneness means that you can set the grill for whoever wants the highest doneness, and take out steaks in their turn for people who want lower temperature steaks!
I have a question does this unit create a lot of smoke?? Only asking cause I want to try it in a hotel room and see if it will set of the alarm?? Thanks
Nice video, thank you. Next time, you might want to put the probe in the largest steak instead of the smallest steak as you did this time. That way you know they will all cook at least to the level you want. Just a suggestion. :)
Darnell, I was just going based on what you said (minute mark 3:35) in your video. From the angle on the video, it definitely looked like one of the two smaller ones. I know that it didn't matter that much to you, which is cool, I was simply suggesting it for some of your viewers that definitely want to make sure that all of their steaks are at minimum a particular temperature. I do apologize, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, just throwing out a suggestion due to an observation. I have always looked forward and enjoyed your thoughtful and informative cooking videos, which is why I am a subscriber to your channel.
No problem at all. I was just saying how Ninja recommends doing it. I just grab one that's not necessarily the greatest or smallest and I just enjoy it all afterwards anyway 🤣👍🏿 I am just happy my kid's pallets don't yet appreciate a good steak 🤣 . More for Dad!
Pass that Medium steak over here. I wonder how it would do against chicken or salmon. Maybe grilled veggies like zuccini, or diced seasoned potatoes. I really want one of these, I feel like it would be a good way to start cutting less fat and calories out. Nothing beats a cast iron or grilled steak, but im down for calorie cutting on a air grill and fryer. Cheers mate!
@@WaveOvenRecipes Thanks for the reply. You missed my point. I never thought that you didn't get carryover. My comment was because you pulled the probe out before the resting time was complete. I also never suggested you shouldn't do you. I can barely cook. I'm learning.
Anything to keep you from mine. You don't like, fine with me. You do yours and I will enjoy mine. It's interesting some can accept differences and others desire to harp over a piece of meat. TH-cam is a big place. If you don't like it here. Find a place that makes you happy.
Great looking steaks. Im going make steak for dinner on my Ninja foodi grill.

Fantastic indoor grill!!
Thank you for this video.
I’m learning my ninja, and I have A LOT to learn! Your video has helped me

Nice! I’d say it did a good job.! Looks delicious 🤤
Your FUN comments make your video a MUST watch.... Thank You for cookin' em' up!!!

Good job!! Thanks
I'm rather impressed with the amount of searing this achieved! good stuff!
I really, really love your video, must part in the end when you said steak are mine.
Good video, I cried when I saw the price tag on those ribeyes so cheap compared to now.

I have a nice NY strip streak with bone-in soaking in it for about 6 hrs. and will be cooking it up later tonight using the smart probe to cook it to a medium rare doneness.
How is it? Did you regret it ? I’m considering to get one for my apartment
Awesome!
AWESOME!
Awesome, Just cooked my 1st steaks on it. fast and delicious
I grilled a thick steak house cut of New York strip on medium well, with a TH-cam recipe and it was absolutely fantastic! Best Christmas gift from my wife ever!
How about smoke? Is it smokeless ? I’m considering to buy one because we live in apartment
@@WESLEYUSA23 it smoked once but it was my fault. I used a rub and I used too much. User error.
I almost left the second he said "well done" lol
Well done isn't a bad thing 😋
@@WaveOvenRecipes we can agree to disagree 🤣🤣
Me too 😂🤣😂
@@WaveOvenRecipes you're right, it's not bad..... It's horrible.
To each their own.
Great vid
My God,those look awesome!
Thanks for cooking those steaks the way I like them! I'm seriously considering getting this cooker to replace my indoor grill and my air fryer oven.
You can see more here.

i know there is the last one out.. in foodi grill but thanks for the video i got the same grill
All I know is you better have me another steak ready by the time I get there. Lol Good video sir!. Might go ahead and try the xl after all.
When you went back for that second piece and didn't say nothing I knew right then
Enjoyed

Yum yum
Well hello I am glad to see you again i was wondering what happened to you but nice to see you again.

Just got my XL and still learning. Enjoyed the video.
It looked good but for me I wish you'd of made me a filet mignon lol! Great job.
Thanks for the demo. I'm wondering about the steps necessary to clean the grill after each use. Please tell me.
th-cam.com/video/8Eu9Hm4PeJ8/w-d-xo.html
Nice Video on the Ninja Foodi XL. Loved your comment at the end that my steak tasted good too.
I have one and if you leave it in the grill it will continue to cook for 2 more minutes because the grill is still hot
My friend had one and we cook on it but it taste different. Nothing beats the charcoal grilled 😋 taste. I would still spend the time to start up the charcoal grilled.
But the ninja foodi grilled is more like a quick steak.
I totally agree with you. A charcoal grilled steak is fantastic. I grill outdoors on a pellet smoker.

I over cooked it every time so I’m here for help
I have a question does this unit create a lot of smoke?? Only asking cause I want to try it in a hotel room and see if it will set of the alarm?? Thanks
th-cam.com/video/7RZEs8cwVps/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the link very helpful. Will definitely get this grill. Like your video.
Hey does it taste like you cooked on a outside grill
I gave my take in the video. Also see:

Doesn't look like the smallest to me, but all's well that ends well 🙂

I see the changes in your cupboards!
Yeah, I explain the situation at the start of this video: th-cam.com/video/ZLQ4jEcnoYc/w-d-xo.html
How’s the smoke when grilling those steaks?
Any thoughts were shared here:

You probably know this by now, but you want to leave the probe attached during resting since the grill still tracks the meat temp.
Not a concern for me once I am finished cooking. I am fully aware of carryover.
You do you 👍🏿
@@WaveOvenRecipes Thanks for the reply. You missed my point. I never thought that you didn't get carryover. My comment was because you pulled the probe out before the resting time was complete. I also never suggested you shouldn't do you. I can barely cook. I'm learning.
Did you have any smoke ?
th-cam.com/video/7RZEs8cwVps/w-d-xo.html
In my opinion, Costco has the best meat.
yay!!! looks great... yum!!! new fan follower here hoping you connect with us too.... cheers and keep safe...
Why cram four into the machine why not two since it makes sense
Because 4 makes sense to me 🙂
You may have overcrowded a little. That may be the why it didn’t make the marks.
For me, well done is OK and sear marks can be made with some other cookers.
A well done steak you might as well cook a shoe leather and save some money cuz you can get shoe either out of Goodwill box for free
Hope you don't get or have parasites 🙂
What max
All covered in the initial review:
th-cam.com/video/2w9vZTOyV14/w-d-xo.html
I only ate grill marks for a week…… Yes, I lost weight😱😄😱
Everyone has to find their way 🙂
th-cam.com/video/Y-hW0Z6hPWA/w-d-xo.html
Anything over medium should be a serious crime.
We're all different people and that's OK.
Soon as he said I’m setting the steaks for “medium well” I had to go… come on now brother, really?
I cook my meat, hope you don't get parasites. It's not fun, and way more people have them than realize it.
No se ve el video, se atoro desde el principio
Not sure why you had an issue, try restarting it. It runs fine for me.
that lame sear
Cant see what your pressing so this video is useless...sorry! I want to learn!
See the link to the full recipe in the video description. Also if you listen, I tell you exactly what I am doing.
You lost me at well done
If we all at the same we would be The Borg 🤖
Bad bad oil 😡processed oil is really not healthy man 🤔
No worries, I have a vid coming to address that.
Literally stopped watching when he picked “well done”.
Bye. 😁
Well then you missed the part when he changed his mind and turned it down to medium-well
I quit watching after I saw that too. Nothing against this guy, but I don't trust any advice from anyone that cooks a steak beyond Medium.
I find that a little odd, but yes, please leave.
No need to announce your departure. This isn't an airport.
wayyy over cooked son
And that ensures you won't try getting my steaks. Which was the plan all along. 😆
@@WaveOvenRecipes your plan was to destroy some steaks all along it worked
Anything to keep you from mine. You don't like, fine with me. You do yours and I will enjoy mine.
It's interesting some can accept differences and others desire to harp over a piece of meat.
TH-cam is a big place. If you don't like it here. Find a place that makes you happy.
Yeah well done!!!! Ohh my I was like what!!!!!!
To each their own, I like mine how I like 'em 😋
