You’ll want to top this juicy Ninja Foodi Steak with a savory garlic butter spread. It tastes just like you ordered it from your favorite steakhouse!
Forget the grill…
Making a delicious steak in your Ninja Foodi is soooo easy! While grilling or broiling are generally the ways to get a steakhouse-worthy filet, I think that the air fryer replicates the best part of both of those methods.
You can make a Steak in the Ninja Foodi with this recipe, or follow my Air Fryer Steak recipe if you have a different model. Remember that all air fryers are different, so you may need to adjust the times a bit to work with your specific air fryer.
What you’ll need
- Steak – 2 smaller cuts of your favorite steak will fit in the Ninja Foodi. Here we’re making Ninja Foodi steak with 4 oz. filet mignon steaks.
- Montreal Seasoning – This is the ultimate steak seasoning! If you haven’t used it, I suggest you try it. Other steak seasoning can be used as well.
- Butter – to top our air fryer steak, a compound butter made with herbs and garlic provides the perfect finish.
- Garlic – 1 tablespoon of minced fresh garlic flavors the butter.
- Dried Rosemary – Rosemary goes into the compound butter to give it a gorgeous herby flavor.
- Dried Parsley – Parsley joins the rosemary in the butter for more flavor and a fresh note.
Step-by-step Directions
- Preheat your Ninja Foodi to 400°F for 5 minutes on the air fryer setting while you get your other ingredients together.
- Remove steaks from their packaging and season the steak by rubbing Montreal seasoning on all sides of the steak.
- Place steaks in the air frying basket and cook for 6 minutes. Flip over and cook for an additional 6 minutes, for 12 minutes total cook time for a medium well steak.
- While the steak is cooking, make the compound butter by combining softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley and dried rosemary.
- Mix until well combined.
- Allow steak to rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Top with the garlic herb butter and enjoy.
Let the Steak Rest!
After cooking steak in the Ninja Foodi, take it out and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. This will allow the juices of the steak to redistribute, giving you a tender cut of meat.
Serving tips
I suggest serving this steak with a potato-based side like our Air Fryer Steak Fries,or Air Fryer Potato Wedges.
Mushrooms, like Balsamic Air Fryer Mushrooms or even Air Fryer Mushrooms from a Can are a healthier side option.
Add some veggies with a fresh Greek Cucumber Salad.

Notes
- If you don’t have Montreal seasoning or don’t like Montreal seasoning, simply combine your favorite steak spices and sprinkle 1 tablespoon onto the steaks.
- The Ninja Foodi can comfortably handle either two small steaks or one 6-10 oz. steak.
- For Medium well steak, cook for 12 minutes. The photos shown here are of a medium rare filet mignon that was cooked for a total of 10 minutes. Adjust the timing to get the temperature that you prefer.
- This steak was made in a Ninja Foodi. You can use this method to cook steak in a different air fryer as well.
- Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the “Air Fry” function.
- Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
Nutrition
I can’t believe there is only 1mg of iron in this 🥩 steak! Mistake me thinks.
Looks like the nutritional info calculated incorrectly! ha! Let me see if it will repopulate 🙂
I tried to recalculate it, but it keeps giving me 1 mg. It seems off to me, I did a quick google and it is telling me that 3 oz of “steak” meat (It won’t let me select the type when I google) has 1.4 mg per 3 oz. Seems low, I agree.
