Utensils

Ninja Cook & Crisp Basket

Step 1

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, sambal, ginger, and garlic. Then place the marinade and steak in a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 2

Massage the outside of the bag to work the marinade over all parts of the steak, then place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
Step 3

After steak has marinated, prepare the grill. To install the grill grate, slide it into the front of the base so it hooks in, then press down on the back until it clicks into place.
Step 4

Place the crisper basket on the grate and position the basket to sit along the rear of the grill grate so the basket feet sit in the grill grate spaces.
Step 5

Select AIR CRISP, set temperature to 390°F and set time to 25 minutes. Press the dial to begin preheating (preheating will take approximately 3 minutes).
Step 6

While grill is preheating, toss together the sweet potatoes, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Place in crisper basket and cook until tender.
Step 7

Remove crisper basket and cover potatoes to keep warm.
Step 8

Then, select GRILL, set temperature to MAX, and set time to 12 minutes. Press the dial to begin preheating (preheating will take approximately 10 minutes).
Step 9

To prepare the skewers, assemble in the following order until they’re almost full: steak, pineapple, onion, bell pepper.
Step 10

When unit beeps to signal it has preheated, open hood and place all 6 skewers on the grill grate, gently pressing them down to maximize grill marks. Leave hood open while cooking.
Step 11

Grill for 10–12 minutes, rotating occasionally. Cook longer if you prefer your beef well done.
Step 12

Serve the skewers with the roasted sweet potatoes and sprinkle everything with sesame seeds.
