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 season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 10–20 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease the basket with avocado oil spray.
- Place the seasoned filets in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, or adjust for your preference.
- Optional: For garlic butter, mix 2 tablespoons softened butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Spoon over steaks after resting to melt.
- Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
Notes
Allowing the steaks to come to room temperature helps them cook evenly.
Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
