🥘 Ingredients
Steak
  • 2 strip steaks (8 oz each, 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt (kosher)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tbsp butter (compound butter for finishing)
Frites
  • 1 lb frozen French fries (straight cut or shoestring)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for tossing)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
📝 Instructions
  1. Remove steaks from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry, rub with oil, season with salt and pepper. Shared 💡 Room temp steak cooks more evenly. Pat dry for a great crust.
  2. Toss frozen fries with vegetable oil and garlic powder. Shared 💡 Oil on frozen fries = extra crispy frites.
  3. Set Dual Zone: both zones Air Fry at 400°F. Zone 1 cook time 10 min (steak), Zone 2 cook time 18 min (fries). Use Smart Finish. Shared 💡 The Ninja delays Zone 1 start so both finish together.
  4. When Zone 1 starts: place steaks in Zone 1 basket. Zone 2 already has fries cooking. Top Oven 💡 Steaks go in when Ninja beeps for Zone 1 start.
  5. Flip steak at 5 minutes. Crisp fries finish in Zone 2. Top Oven 💡 Single flip gives a perfect crust on both sides.
  6. Steak done at 125°F for medium-rare. Top with compound butter. Rest 5 minutes. Shared 💡 Butter melts into the hot steak — do not skip the rest.
  7. Plate steak alongside crispy frites. Garnish with parsley. Shared 💡 Steak frites at home — no restaurant required.
💡 Ninja Tips

Room temp steaks cook better. Smart Finish handles the timing — Zone 1 starts later automatically. Rest steak 5 min. Compound butter melts into hot steak beautifully.

Scaling: Double: Two batches. Half: 1 steak, 1/2 lb fries; adjust zone times proportionally.
