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
- Prepare the steaks by patting them dry and seasoning all sides generously with salt and black pepper. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 10–20 minutes to promote even cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease the basket using avocado oil spray.
- Arrange the filet mignons in the air fryer basket and cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through for optimal cooking, until reaching an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, adjusting time for your desired doneness.
- Optional: Create garlic butter by combining 2 tablespoons of softened butter, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder (or one small minced clove), and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Spoon this mixture over the steaks after resting to allow it to melt.
- Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices intact.
Notes
For best results, ensure the steaks are at room temperature before cooking.
Experiment with different seasonings to customize the flavor to your liking.
Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking doneness.
