What You Need For Ninja Speedi Steak

Equipment

We are using the Ninja Speedi Rapid Cooker & Air Fryer to cook steak.

I also used a different air fryer rack instead of using the crisper tray that comes with the Speedi.

You can still use the crisper tray instead of this Ninja Speedi accessory, but I’ll explain on the instructions why I used the rack instead.

Ingredients

  • Steak – I used sirloin, but you can use your cut of choice like ribeye, striploin, flat iron, etc.
  • Your choice of seasoning like salt and pepper. I love having garlic on my steak so I also used granulated garlic.

How To Cook Steak in Ninja Speedi

It’s very easy to cook steak in Ninja Speedi, and it’s a set and forget way of making them unlike grilling.

Let me show you how.

Pat the steak dry.

Season both sides of the steak evenly.

Place air fryer rack on raised position (the side of the air fryer rack that is more elevated).

The reason I used an air fryer rack instead of the crisper tray is because the crisper tray has less air space for even circulation for the bottom side.

The crisper tray is also much lower (when in bottom position) or higher (when in elevated position), which makes the cooking of one side uneven.

Put the steak on the center of the air fryer rack for the most even circulation.

Close the Ninja Speedi lid and turn the unit on.

Flip the switch to AIR FRY and select AIR FRY function.

Set temperature to 390F (or 200C)

Set timer to 7 minutes.

When cooking is complete, open the lid and remove steak.

Let the steak rest.

Enjoy this easy steak with Ninja Speedi!

Tips for Ninja Speedi Steak

Here are some tips for the easy Ninja Speedi Steak recipe:

  • Recommended rest time for steak is 5-10 minutes.
  • Use steak that’s 1-1.5 inch thick.
  • Don’t cook the steak cold. Let it defrost/rest to room temperature before cooking.
  • The provided instructions is for a medium rare steak, which is how I like my steak.
    • You can adjust timing based on your preferred doneness.
  • If you don’t have a separate air fryer rack (or don’t want to buy one), you can still use the Ninja Speedi crisper tray.
    • Set the crisper tray to bottom position and increase time by 2 minutes to account for the steak being cooked at a lower height.

Can You Use Speedi Recipe on the Ninja Combi?

With the Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven and Air Fryer, you might be wondering if Ninja Speedi recipes will work for the Combi as well.

I don’t have a Ninja Combi, but, on researching the functionalities and customer feedbacks who have both, here are my findings:

  • Ninja Combi seems to be just an updated version of the Ninja Speedi.
  • The Combi basically has the same features as Ninja Speedi.
  • It’s just that Ninja Combi is bigger and in a oven-style, loading from the front instead of the top.
  • Instead of Speedi Meals, you use Combi Meals function.
  • The Speedi has inner pot and crisper tray and the Ninja Combi has a bottom pan and bake tray for the two-level cooking.
  • Whereas the Speedi is good cooking meals for 1-2 people, the Combi is good for families and parties.
  • Customers who have used both Speedi and Combi say the recipes are interchangeable because of the same setup and features.

So it seems like Ninja Speedi Recipes can be Ninja Combi Recipes.

If you’ve tried a recipe in both Speedi and Combi, let me know your experience.
