Instructions

Pat the filets dry and generously season both sides with salt and black pepper. Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for 10–20 minutes before cooking.
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 according to preference.
To make garlic butter, combine 2 tablespoons softened butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 minced clove), and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Spoon over the steaks after they have rested, allowing it to melt on top.
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.

Notes

For optimal flavor, use high-quality filet mignon steaks.
Letting the steaks rest after cooking enhances juiciness.
Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
