We love using our Ninja Foodi— both at home and on the road in our camper kitchen. It comes in SO handy. When we realized the Ninja Foodi has a broiling feature, we knew one of the first things we would try! Broiling steak in the Ninja Foodi is super easy and a great alternative when you don’t want to heat up the oven or if you don’t want to grill in the rain! This is also super convenient for those of us on low carb diets! Love me a good rib-eye and now we can literally make them rain or shine!
Notes on Broiling Steak in the Ninja Foodi
- This recipe is specific to the broiling feature on the Ninja Foodi, however, you could use the same method in your oven broiler.
- Cooking times will vary greatly depending on thickness of steak and how YOU like your steak cooked. We found for a medium cut ribeye, we could achieve medium rare by broiling 5 1/2 minutes on each side. Medium took 6 1/2 minutes on each side. Thinner steaks will take less time. Thicker steaks will take more time. Add and subtract minutes to reach desired level of doneness.
- We found that a medium cut steak gave us the best results when broiling steak in the Ninja Foodi. Thin steaks were too chewy.
- We did not like the results we got by using the Air Crisp feature to cook steak in the Ninja Foodi. We prefer using the broiling feature.

- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking.
- All cooking units cook differently under different conditions, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own Ninja Foodi and time adjusted as needed.

Is there a specific temperature that you broil at if I am making roast beef? When I turn the dial to broil, 450 degrees comes up automatically. Is it ok to keep at 450? I want to cook it to medium. Thanks
Hi Kelly-
We just left ours on the default broil setting. Hope that helps!
Hi I want to try this broil method but don’t like ribeye. Have you tried this method with a leaner cut like sirloin steaks?
Hi Marina-
Much like grilling, cooking times will vary depending on thickness and desired result. You could use the same method but just keep a close eye on it. It could get done a bit faster than the ribeye is my guess. Enjoy!
Thanks for the tips. The two steaks turned out well. Almost too big for the stand.
Trying this tonight got a ninja foodi with the air crisp and all the goodies using the broil recipe tonight on two med. rib eyes will let you know not sure how to use the foodie but it looks easy just out of the box on Christmas day I put a whole chicken in followed one of your recipes and it was great so it is STEAK tonight and its 30 degrees outside and i can cook a steak w/o having to stand in the cold Will let you know how it came out going to do 5 min on each side and then check it (i like well and my hubby likes med. rare so I might take his out first)
I just got a foodie ninja for Christmas and i cannot wait to start cooking on it! Making a ny strip tonight for dinner
Welcome to the Foodi world! Hope your dinner was delicious!
You will love your Foodi. I got one from Santa and I made a pork loin last night with Texmati rice and quinoa. It was amazing and super fast. My 6 & 9 year olds said it was the best rice ever and my picky eater husband enjoyed it too!!
Just watched your rib eye show. Will try tonight.
Thank you.

The best way to get a perfect steak is the Sous Vide method, then a quick sear in preferably a cast iron skillet. Perfect everytime, throughout the steak.
I’m sure it is. It’s not that we don’t know that there are other ways to cook a steak. But this recipe is for people who are using the Ninja Foodi. Your comment is pointless
I tried your ribeye in the foodie and it was delicious! I usually struggle with grilling a steak & let the men handle them on the grill. It was so easy & it came out perfect. Can’t wait to try some of your other foodi recipes
I marinated my ribeyes overnight before broiling. Could only do one at a time due to their size, but they were worth the wait! 7 minutes per side then let them rest wrapped in foil 5 minutes, and they were a perfect medium well. So juicy and tender!
So glad you enjoyed it, Lisa!
I used Tri tip and they came out GREAT! Thanks so much
So glad to hear it, Lorene!
