Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 4 (5–6 oz) filet mignon steaks
- Kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- avocado oil spray, or another high-smoke-point oil for greasing the air fryer basket
Instructions
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry and generously season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10–20 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease the basket using avocado oil spray.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket and cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway if desired, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or cook longer to meet your preference.
- For optional garlic butter, in a small bowl, blend 2 tablespoons of softened butter with ½ teaspoon of garlic powder or one small minced garlic clove and a pinch of salt. Spoon over the steaks right after resting.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes prior to slicing to retain all the juices.
Notes
For best results, ensure filets are not too cold before cooking for even cooking.
Adjust cooking time based on your preference for steak doneness.
