🥩 Ingredients (Serves 2)

✅ 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1-inch thick)
✅ 1 tbsp olive oil
✅ 1 tsp salt
✅ 1 tsp black pepper
✅ ½ tsp garlic powder
✅ ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

🧈 For the Garlic Butter:
✅ 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
✅ 2 cloves garlic (minced)
✅ 1 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)

🔥 Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Steak with the Ninja DG551

1️⃣ Prep the Steaks

🛒 Choosing the right cut: Ribeye is best for maximum juiciness, but sirloin is a great leaner option.
🥩 Pat dry the steaks with a paper towel. This removes excess moisture and ensures a beautiful crust when grilling.
🛢️ Rub olive oil on both sides of each steak. This helps the seasoning stick and enhances browning.
🧂 Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
🕒 Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.

2️⃣ Preheat the Ninja DG551 & Insert the Smart Thermometer

🔥 Turn on the Ninja DG551 and select the ‘Grill’ function.
📌 Choose your preferred doneness level:

• Rare (125°F)
• Medium-Rare (135°F)
• Medium (145°F)
• Medium-Well (150°F)
• Well-Done (160°F)

🌡️ Insert the Smart Thermometer into the thickest part of one steak. The Ninja DG551 will automatically track the internal temperature!
🔥 Set the grill to ‘High’ (500°F) and preheat for 8 minutes. The machine will beep when it’s ready.

3️⃣ Grill the Steaks to Perfection

🥩 Place the steaks on the preheated grill, close the lid, and let the Ninja DG551 work its magic!
⏳ Cooking time (approx.):

• Rare: 5-6 minutes per side
• Medium-Rare: 6-7 minutes per side
• Medium: 8-9 minutes per side
• Well-Done: 10-12 minutes per side

📢 The Smart Cook System will notify you when your steak reaches the correct temperature. No need to guess!
🔥 Flip the steaks halfway through cooking for even char marks.

4️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter While the Steak Cooks

🧈 In a small bowl, mix:

• Softened butter
• Minced garlic
• Chopped rosemary

🌿 This garlic butter will melt over the hot steak and infuse it with incredible flavor!

5️⃣ Rest the Steak & Serve

⏳ Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This locks in the juices, keeping the steak tender.
🧈 Top with a spoonful of garlic butter and let it melt over the warm steak.
🥩 Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
🍷 Pair with air-fried sweet potato fries & grilled asparagus for a complete meal!

💡 Pro Tips for the Best Steak

✔ Use the Smart Thermometer for Accuracy – No more overcooked meat!
