    So I just did a tomahawk steak on the XL. I smoked it @ 250° til 122°, took it off, then turned smoker off, then to grill. Waited for it to get to temp, then threw steak back on pressing it down for about 30 seconds shifted 90°, then flipped over and repeated. Came out amazing!

    Same as the guy below, new subscriber but on the West Coast side, and my wife asked if I do some research on this. Your videos have been very helpful with the honest straightforward reviews, that steak has my mouth watering, and I know this was reviewed 11 months ago, but man that looked good. I am new to the smoking scene. Most of my friends all have the high end smokers, and I actually think this is a more bang for my buck sort of option. I gas grill a lot on our weber that we also take with us camping, and I think if we have power I would trade out the Weber for the Ninja grill. I have a Santa Maria style built steel grill that I use oak wood on, as well as charcoal to get that good smoked flavor, but I have been wanting to try something that doesn't take 2 + hours just to burn down the wood to get that heat and smoke flavor I desire in the food. This option seems like a great alternative.

    LOVE your videos! I've watched almost every single one since I got my Ninja XL. My ONLY suggestion/request would be to please put the final/actual instructions in your description so we know the exact cooking times/desired temps without having to rewatch the entire video. I am a vegetarian of 30+ years but I love to cook for family and friends so I rely heavily on these types of videos to get the exact desired result for them since I have no idea what meat tastes like. You've been a Godsend in helping me cook. Tonight I am smoking/grilling NY Strip steaks for the 1st time ever and I want to be able to blow my friends away! I am going with the smoke method and then doing a reverse sear b/c I don't have a flamethrower to crust the steaks. Wish me luck!

    I always use med temp when I using the grill function. I feel it would have been a better comparison if you grilled it at a lower temp thus allow more smoke time vs it getting hot too fast and causing it to tighten up. After you reached your desired temp, you could sear it on high.

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  Год назад +2

      I didn’t go that route because I was pretty sure it would end up overcooking the steak that way. In my opinion the ninja is pretty poor at searing as it just doesn’t get hot enough. By the time you did it on medium then waited for the Ninja to get to high the carryover would have taken it past the target temp before you even get a chance to sear it. Plus at that point if you are doing it on the lower temp aren’t you basically just doing the same as smoking lol? Grilling is usually a high heat cook method.

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  Год назад +1

      The close lid thing I believe is dependent on the setting you are in. I think you can only cook with the lid open in the grill setting. As far as not igniting the pellets in the grill setting make sure the little flame icon is on when you hit start. By default it is not when you select the grill setting. You need to hit the woodfire (flame) button to enable it. Then leave the lid closed while the unit preheats and the pellets will ignite.

    I've only just got this grill...... I've wateched lots of steak videos lately and others smoke at 105C (220F) Annoyingly the UK version only goes down to 120C (249F) so its good to see you do this at a temp that I can actually use. Don't have a propane torch, have butane one and I don't really want to use that for flavour reasons. I do have an iron pan though so can get that mega hot for the sear. Only done "cheap" cuts so far as don't want to mess up an nice steak at the moment, but going to try a 1kg tomahawk or T-bone at the weekend I reckon

    I would have to rewatch this RUclips to see if you said the same thing as you did in your last year's RUclips of grilling and smoking the New York steak. Last year you said when setting the Ninja to Smoke, to also press the Woodfire Flavor button, however you don't have to do that when your setting is at Smoke. You only use the Woodfire Flavor button when you are adding pellets/smoke flavor to the other cooking methods of Grill, Air Crisp, Bake, Roast or Dehydrate. 🙂

    Thanks for another Great, factual video. Personally, I would think the person that told you "how to" do the "perfect steak" is without any clue of the refined goodness of smoke taste, plus the crust? People laugh at me for using my MAP Gas torch for BBQ episodes and searing as you mentioned-thanks for that, also use Alcooking dual Bluetooth temp probe set. My Ninja has built in temp probes and programming, so that spoils me big time, but still have another 2 smoker units, propane and electric, hardly used anymore due to the Ninja, unless large batches of jerky or? "Low & Slow" is the way to go for good, tender, flavored red meats, in my opinion. Smoke allows so many more flavor options by use of different woods; where grilling only depends on the rub or spices you choose. Your comparisons are fair and detailed. For me-I'm Smokin'---To each their own. Maybe the suggestive individual is in a hurry, or with out an open mind to try it your way?

  • @D-OveRMinD
    @D-OveRMinD 9 месяцев назад +4

    I think you are missing the point of what the other person requested. The whole point of this device is the wood fire button. Yes, you can do a straight up smoke, but you can also use the grill function and then press the wood fire button. Basically, this allows you the speed of grilling, with a quick injection of smoke flavor as well. More importantly, the grilled steak was well overcooked. Everyone knows that when you grill at high heat, you have to take it off earlier. In my opinion, the fair test would have been to grill the steak with the wood fire option, and then take it off at around 120. That would have gave it a smokier flavor, and kept it at medium rare after it rested. What I normally do on mine, is use the smoke option up to 120, then set the grill to high heat, and quick grill each side for about a minute. That brings it up to the correct temperature without fussing with other devices like the blowtorch. Plus it adds the nice grill marks and crust. As this video sits, this is a completely unfair comparison.

    • @DadGotThis
      @DadGotThis  9 месяцев назад

      But the issue with using the Woodfire button on grill is it only works with the lid closed. I guess that through me off because when I think of “grilling” like that it’s an open flipping kind of thing. Not closed lid style cooking.
      The grilled steak did get overcooked because I could not get a good crust fast enough, at least in my opinion.
      I may be wrong but I think if you cooked it with high heat grill closed it will overcook well before getting a crust. But I might be wrong, happens all the time.

    Okay, new test and it will do away with the gray ring. Grill from frozen. Best steak ever. Now to be fair, I haven't as yet tried this on the Ninja, only on more conventional charcoal grills like a kamado joe, but from frozen, start at high grill mode and seer first for ~ a couple minutes per side... remove, change to smoke mode at your 250° temp, season and return and smoke until 125° internal. Tricky bit I believe will be to get the probe in to test the temp. Doing this tomorrow and will report back.

      @karlkrasnowsky3895 3 месяца назад

      Worked like a charm. From frozen (make sure to freeze them flat), grill on high , criss crossing them for about 2-3 min each side, pull off and set aside while adding pellets and restarting on smoke mode at 250°, add probe to steak and return to grill with thermometer temp set to 125°. Add seasoning and turn ~1/2 way to final temp and season again.
      Let rest for 10 minutes and enjoy. Perfect steak and absolutely no grey ring at all.

      I did the 130 on the smoke and 131 on the grill because the smoke was going to have a longer rest with more time for carry over. I was going to be getting to the Grill one faster after cooking so it was going to have less carry over time. Also in practical terms that one degree wasn't going to make much difference in my totally un scientific test since it takes so much time for me to do thing with setting up cameras etc in between cooking and such.
