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 filets dry and generously season with salt and black pepper. Allow them to rest 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 basket and air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare or longer as preferred.
- Optionally, prepare garlic butter by mixing softened butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Spoon over the cooked steaks after resting to melt it on top.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
Notes
Ensure the steaks are at room temperature before cooking for even doneness.
Consider using the garlic butter for added flavor post-cooking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
