Ninja Foodi Steak Tips

Ninja Foodi Steak Tips are excellent. Juicy and delicious. Today, I made a batch for my kid’s lunch, served it with a simple rice dish, made it in my Instant Pot. We had a great and healthy lunch in under 20 minutes.

Some people call these steak bites; I refer to them as steak bites; whatever you call them, they are delicious in the air fryer or Ninja Foodi.

Everyone has been asking me for more and more Ninja Foodi Recipes, so my goal for 2021 is to TRY to do one a day! So today’s lunch was prepared in the Ninja Foodi.

While I served this with a simple rice dish, there are many other ways to serve this. Of course, some of my favorites are Air Fryer French Fries and some Air Fryer Grilled Summer Squash. Both make great side dishes for this meal. But in all honesty, it pairs well with anything!

What is an Air Fryer?

This seems to be one of the hottest appliances on the market right now. The answer to this common question is that it’s a small oven that sits on your counter. It operates by circulating the hot air around the food, perfectly cooking it.

An Air Fryer can cook almost everything that you are currently making in your oven.

What is A Ninja Foodi?

This year, a Ninja Foodi is popular because it combines two appliances: the Pressure Cooker and an Air Fryer. It is very much like the new Instant Pot Lid. It changes out the lid for each function, one lid for the Pressure Cooker, and one for the Air Fryer.

Beef Steak Tips 

As stated before, I refer to these as steak tips; other people call them steak bites. They are perfectly seared and seasoned with the help of the air fryer. I used a simple marinade and left them overnight to get the best flavor.

The trick is to preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F. The minute you put the steak in, it starts searing, locking in the juicy flavor. This is such an easy meal and tastes lovely. I am sure you will do this at least once a week for your family.

Best yet, especially where I live, you don’t have to shovel your path to the grill, and you still get the same excellent and delicious flavor.

 Easy Air Fryer Ninja Foodi Steak Tips Recipe

Today, I used what I had on hand: very simple salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire Sauce.

Simple Marinade Used

Now a word about Worcestershire sauce; if you don’t own any and want to do this recipe, get a bottle of it. It’s worth the expense. What Worcestershire sauce does to the meat is tenderize it. It contains acid, which helps break down the meat’s proteins; this causes it to become tender.

Meat Used

For this recipe, I used a whole piece of sirloin steak cut into about 2-inch chunks. Other options for tender steak tips are ribeye, New York Strip, or another boneless steak.

How To Air Fry Ninja Foodi Steak Tips

• Start by preheating your air fryer to 390 degrees F for 5 minutes.
• Then add your steak tips or bites in a single layer to the air fryer basket and set the time for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, use a pair of silicone tongs to flip the meat, and air fry for another 3 minutes.
• Check to make sure your meat is cooked the way you want it. I like mine medium, so it cooks my steak tips 6 minutes to get this way, if you want them less cooked, reduce the time to 2 minutes, per side.

Tips For Making Ninja Foodi Steak Tips

• It is very important to preheat the air fryer; you want the sear as soon as the meat hits the pan. This will lock up the flavors and make your meat juicy and tender.
• It would be best if you didn’t crowd your air fryer. While you want to get the most food into the air fryer, crowding it will make your food cook unevenly. You need to allow air to circulate the food so it cooks properly and evenly.
• For best results, marinate your meat overnight.
