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
- Season the filets by patting them dry and generously coating all sides with salt and black pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10–20 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease the basket with avocado oil spray.
- Place the seasoned filets in the air fryer basket and cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- For a delicious garlic butter, mix 2 tablespoons of softened butter with ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Spoon it over the steaks right after resting for extra flavor.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices intact.
Notes
Ensure steaks are at room temperature before cooking for even results.
