Cooking filet mignon in an air fryer is a convenient way to achieve a tender and flavorful steak with a nice sear on the outside. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making delicious air fryer filet mignon:
Ingredients:
- Filet mignon steaks
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Optional: Garlic powder, dried herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
Step 1: Preparing the Filet Mignon
- Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows the steaks to cook more evenly.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Dry steaks will sear better and develop a nice crust.
