Surf and Turf Dinner in the Ninja Foodi Grill!

Sometimes I like to challenge myself and that is exactly what I did in this video. It started out as a surf & turf video, but I didn't want to stop there! I decided to cook ALL the components of my surf & turf dinner right in the grill and everything HAS to be perfectly cooked and served hot. Can I do it?

Thank you, that’s why I bought the XL. Would love more combo recipes ❤️

[@ricksegalCanada]

This is an outstanding video for multiple reasons. The art of doing everything in one unit with timing and such well thought out is just the beginning. Watching scallops being done and knowing a potato's internal temp? The is video is just packed with information and super helpful insights into maximizing the Foodi Grill. Excellent efforts, thanks for making this video.

[@stephanieholmes731]

I try to do that method when I cook my salmon

[@PlanningwithPeggy]

I just got my grill. I’d love to see more of your videos like this. Making a whole meal is a bit overwhelming. Thank you so much.

Love your show, your ideas, recipes, and personality.... Thank You

[@ArtIsLife1957]

I have been watching your videos the past few days, along with a few others, in my quest to determine which appliance I should get. I currently own an instant pot air fryer in Florida, and wanted to get something for my place up north. We don’t own an outdoor grill And I love that this will do that job and also allow me to air fry! You do a wonderful job of sharing info and informing others, and your techniques. In this world where so many people feel it is ok to say nasty things on line, I commend you for rising above and being such a nice person. I just ordered my ninja and by ordering directly from Ninja I got a lot of extra little things in a promo. Cannot wait to try it out! Thank you so much.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I really hope you love it and thank you for the kind words.

Love your channel! Just used your link to buy the XL grill. Getting ready for a keto experiment so will be hunting for good recipes in your channel.

[@sandrakendrick176]

Do you have a recipe for the Million Dollar seasoning?

[@Schwansonian_Townsonian]

So this sold me on buying the grill. I watched your videos on the Ninja Foodi XL, and in the past 2 years or so got one of those, the Ninja blender and the Ninja Coffee Thingy (not the real name). I have been on the fence about the grill for a year or so, and this just sold me. Living in an apt with VERY sensitive smoke alarms, I have not been able to cook a steak in 6 years. Steak is one of my fav meals. I can finally make it again. Thank you Louise. Oh, and please share the recipe for that million dollar rub! lol.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I hope you love the grill! If you have any smoke issues, try adjusting your heat down some.

[@kenyabutler410]

Yes 👍

[@LockItInEddie]

All the best things in one plate, my absolute favourites scallops, fillet, potato and even broccoli, it was made for me! 😋 Now all I need is the Foodi Grill

[@TheSaltedPepper]

So good!

[@bryankautz826]

Just a 'tip' that should help with your tip placement. I lay the probe across the top of the item I want to measure until the tip is where I want it to be in the center once inserted, then grab the probe between thumb & forefinger with those 2 fingers up against the edge of the meat, then without moving your pinch grip insert the probe and push it in up to until your fingers touch the edge of the meat. The depth should be centered, you just have to make sure you're close to center on the height of the cut. Also, keep in mind, according to the ninja cookbook that comes with the unit, it illustrates that their probe actually has 2 sensors, one at the tip, and another just a little further up, just where it starts to flare out to the main body of the probe. Guess this is to try and give an more averaged out reading. Other than that the meal looked great, loved how you timed everything to finsh nice and warm all at the same time. Cheers!

[@kayb4995]

I really like your videos. I returned my cheap air fryer and am now back in the market haha. Have you used the newest ninja with the heating elements on the bottom? I wonder how much the bottom heating benefits the overall usefulness.

[@kathyvanaernam4437]

I’m not sure if your xl grill is the older version, but I just bought the 2nd gen and apparently the temp probe has 2 zones for checking the temp. One at the end and one in the middle. It has been very accurate for me.

Do you have any problem with smoking using olive oil that has a lower smoke point?

[@cathiemc731]

You used the sear and grill grate. Do you place it on top of the griddle or the very bottom pan,or the grill that came with the unit. TIA for answering.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

This model doesn't have the griddle and the grill grate doesn't work with the griddle/grill model. In this XL grill there is a liner pan and I set it in the pan. There are ledges that it sits on.

[@sandraholtzmuller1318]

Really like this idea for getting all the food out in a timely fashion. Do you have a recipe for the million dollar rub. You make it sound so good and said you made it for friends.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm looking into bottling it and selling it. I thought about including the recipe, but when I sourced out the ingredients, one of them in particular is hard to find and only comes in large packages (for a quality product), it would be quite expensive to make at home and you would end up with 10 pounds of the rub. I think it's more accessible if I can sell spice jars of it.

[@JoleanneJackson]

Have you tried rubbing bacon grease on the potatoes then using coarse salt. It’s sooo yummy and flavorful.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

No, but that sounds amazing!

[@JoleanneJackson]

Next time you make bacon save the grease and try it. It’s so good I promise. 😊

[@edytaszeremeta5608]

[@halfmoonrising6191]

Absolutely love your channel. Just bought foodie, the blender, and the xl oven in the last week. Just wondering...will you be doing more vids in the xl oven? And what do u think a out the airfryer option on the oven?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It's not my favorite that is for sure. I love the XL oven for tons of things, but as an air fryer, it doesn't impress me. It has done a better job since I've been increasing the temp by 50 degrees, but it's still not as good as the other air fryer functions.

Does the grill grate you have scratch the bottom pan? I bought one, but it looks like it’s going to scratch the pan. On the fence as to whether I should keep it. The company is very nice. Said to try it. I find the bottom pan on my 6-in-1 can scratch easily. Thank you.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I haven't had it scratch because it sits on the ledge on the XL grill. I'm sure it's possible that it could scratch it, but I love using it and will deal with scratches if they happen.

[@susank5218]

Can you use parchment paper for covering the broccoli?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Unless it was secured somehow, it would blow up into the lid.

[@davehensley1573]

Just a few questions. You used olive oil which has a low smoking temp.. Other videos say to use Avocado oil or Canola oil. Also you pressed down on the filet's. That releases the juices. Don't you want the juices to stay in the steak?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You press down to create the connection with the surface for the best sear. You don't press the juices out, a whole steak is much different from a ground hamburger. I don't usually press a hamburger because you do lose juices that way. Unless, of course, I'm making a smashburger. You can use whatever oil you like, I use olive oil unless I'm cooking at super high temps or the food will do better with a neutral flavored oil like avocado.

[@jeffstewart418]

Which model is this? It looks like the "grill/griddle or the Foodi XL-6-1.. I ask, because I got a Foodi IG350 Q and can't find it listed on the Ninja website- so I'll be returning it. But I was going to order the Grill/Griddle because I can make breakfast on the griddle

[@kathyfann]

Is this really worth having another large appliance like this when we Have the 61/2 qt Foodi? I make delicious Pork chops Chicken and fish in my Ninja Foodi. Have not purchased a steak for over a year. The prices are unrealistic where I live for 2 steaks of almost any cut

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The 6.5 qt Foodi works great and there isn't a need for 2 appliances.

It's too expensive to make because some of the ingredients have to be ordered in bulk and are pricey for good quality. It would cost too much and make about 10 pounds of rub, so I doubt anyone would want to do that. Jeff is looking into having it bottled for sale and then we will sell it in smaller quantities so it's affordable.
