Ingredients

4 filet mignon steaks 5-6 ounces each
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F.
Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and cover in the olive oil.
Place the seasoned filet mignon steaks in the air fryer basket and air fry for 9 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the doneness of the steak, and if it reaches 125F for rare, it’s ready to be removed from the air fryer basket. Continue cooking for an extra 1 1/2 minutes per level of doneness and check 130F for medium-rare, 140F for medium, 150F for medium-well, and 160F for well done.
Transfer the filet mignon steaks to a plate and add if desired, add a tablespoon of garlic butter on top of each one.

Notes

Top the steaks with 1/4 cup of garlic butter (one tablespoon on each steak). Either store-bought garlic butter or my homemade garlic butter (1/4 cup softened butter mixed with one teaspoon of chopped parsley, two cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt).

TO STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

TO FREEZE: Let the steaks cool completely, then freeze them in freezer containers for up to three months.

TO REHEAT: Air fry at 300F until warm or until the internal temperature reaches 130F.
