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 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.
