Steak + Roasted Vegetables

Smart Finish does the work: a perfectly seared steak in the top oven while roasted vegetables caramelize in the bottom. Dinner for two, one appliance, zero stress.

🥘 Ingredients
Zone 1 - Steak
  • 2 strip steaks (8 oz each, 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Zone 2 - Vegetables
  • 1 zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
  • 1 yellow squash (sliced into half-moons)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion (cut into wedges)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
📝 Instructions
  1. Remove steaks from fridge 30 min before cooking. Pat dry, rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Shared 💡 Room-temp steak sears better and cooks more evenly.
  2. Toss all vegetables with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt. Spread in the 8×8 pan for zone2. Shared 💡 Cut vegetables to similar sizes so they cook at the same rate.
  3. Preheat both zones on Dual Zone at 400°F for 3 minutes. Shared 💡 Smart Finish will adjust start times so both zones finish together.
  4. Steaks go into zone1 (top) air fry basket. Vegetables go into zone2 (bottom) 8×8 pan. Shared 💡 Top zone is zone1 on the Ninja DCT401 — double-check your model.
  5. Set zone1 to Air Fry at 400°F for 10 min. Set zone2 to Air Fry at 400°F for 15 min. Enable Smart Finish. Shared 💡 Smart Finish delays the steak zone slightly so everything is ready at the same moment.
  6. When Smart Finish signals done, check steak temp (130-135°F for med-rare). Rest steak 5 min. Stir vegetables. Shared 💡 If steak needs more time, you can add 2-3 minutes while the veggies stay warm in zone2.
  7. Plate steak alongside roasted vegetables. Spoon any pan juices from the vegetables over the steak. Shared 💡 Those vegetable pan juices with melted tomato and onion are better than any sauce.
💡 Ninja Tips

Smart Finish is brilliant here — the steak zone starts later so both finish together. Vegetable size uniformity matters most for even cooking. Cherry tomatoes will burst and create a natural sauce.

Scaling: To double: cook in two complete batches. To halve: use 1 steak, halve vegetables, reduce zone2 time to 12 min.
