INGREDIENTS

1 SERVING
  • 1 filet mignon
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp softened butter, or ghee
  • ½ tsp minced garlic
  • fresh herbs, if desired

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • First, remove filet mignon from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the beef to come to room temperature.
    • Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with sea salt and pepper.
    • Place steak in air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes for medium rare. If needed, continue cooking to desired temperature.
    • While steak is cooking, add softened butter and minced garlic to a small bowl. If desired, add in some chopped fresh herbs. Stir to combine.
    • Finally, remove steak from air fryer. Place on a plate and put butter on top. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into.

    • NOTES

      • Use fresh filet mignon if possible.  Fully thaw frozen filets before making this recipe.
      • The recommended time and temperature is for 1.5 inch thick filet mignon steak.
      • Generously season.  Feel free to use Montreal steak seasoning if desired.
      • The garlic butter is totally optional, but highly recommended.
      • Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature.
      • For rare, temperature is 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
      • Medium rare is between 130 and 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
      • For medium, cook between 135 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
      • Medium well is 145 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
      • For well done, cook above 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
      • Allow steak to sit on the plate for 5 minutes before slicing into.  This locks in the juices.
