Air Fryer Filet Mignon
Ingredients:
- 2 Filet Mignon steaks (about 6-8 ounces each)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure it’s adequately heated.
- Prepare the Filet Mignon:
- Pat the Filet Mignon steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Rub each steak with a small amount of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings or steak seasoning of your choice to enhance flavor.
- Place in the Air Fryer:
- Arrange the seasoned Filet Mignon steaks in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other to allow for proper air circulation. Leave some space between them.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the steaks in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 8-12 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness and the thickness of the steaks.
- For medium-rare, aim for the lower end of the cooking time, and for medium to medium-well, cook for the higher end of the time range.
- Check for Doneness:
- About halfway through the cooking time, flip the Filet Mignon steaks using tongs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Resting Time:
- Once the Filet Mignon steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes on a plate or cutting board outside the air fryer. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute within the steak, resulting in a juicier and more tender texture.
- Serve:
- Plate the rested Filet Mignon steaks and serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
