Nothing beats the taste of a freshly cooked steak, still warm from the kitchen. Skip the hassle of firing up the grill and use your ninja Foodi grill to cook steaks to perfection. If cooked correctly, you can get a charbroiled steakhouse flavor without having to leave your home.
If your steaks have a generous amount of fat, we recommend trimming the excess fat off to avoid smoking while cooking. Salting your steaks, the day before grilling can add a dynamic flavor to your meal. If you don’t have time to salt or marinade the steaks the day before, don’t worry! Salt and seasonings can be added any time before grilling your steaks.

This recipe is a bit more complex than other recipes that JuicingJournal has recommended. We suggest saving this recipe for a relaxing evening or a time that you can enjoy making a fine dish. If you want to spice this recipe up, we recommend making homemade mashed potatoes and not using pre-made ones.
Deconstructed Beef Wellington
In our house, beef tenderloin is saved for special occasions. Beef tenderloin is one of the more expensive cuts of beef, and it is worth it. Don’t be afraid of cooking such a fine cut of beef in a Foodi or Foodi XL grill.
Make sure to follow the suggested cooking times. Many people enjoy beef tenderloin cooked to rare and medium-rare temperatures, and overcooking should be avoided. To perfectly dial in the temperature, use the smart version of the Foodi grills so you can use the thermometer to stop cooking when the desired temperature is reached.
The other thing that we enjoy about this recipe is that it only calls for salt and pepper. This is a tried-and-true recipe that will impress everyone!
