Ingredients

  • 1 uncooked New York strip steak (10–12 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil, separated
  • Kosher salt, as desired
  • Ground black pepper, as desired
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

Utensils needed

  • Instant-Read Thermometer
  • Silicone-Tipped Tongs

Instructions

Step 1
Pat steak dry. Brush steak on all sides with 1/2 tablespoon canola oil, then season with salt and pepper, as desired. Toss asparagus with remaining canola oil, then season with salt and pepper, as desired. 

Step 2
Place Ninja 10-Inch Frying Pan on stove and heat on high for 3 minutes.

Step 3
Carefully place the steak in the pan and allow to cook without moving for 4 minutes. 

Step 4
Use silicone-tipped tongs to carefully flip the steak, then reduce heat to medium-high. Add the asparagus to the pan. Cook the steak for another 4 minutes or until the steak reaches 125°F on an instant-read thermometer. 

Step 5
Remove the steak from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes. It will continue to cook to a food-safe temperature while resting. Use a cooking thermometer to ensure a food-safe temperature has been achieved. 

Step 6
Continue to cook asparagus for 2 minutes. Remove from pan and slice steak. Serve immediately.
