Air Fryer Filet Mignon

Ingredients

• 12 ounces beef filet mignon steaks (2 filets, 6 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
• 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Set the steaks on a plate and let them come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Set the air fryer to 400℉ (200℃) so it can preheat while you prepare the filet mignon.

3. 3

   Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry. Coat both sides of the beef with olive oil, then season on both sides with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Arrange the steaks in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them so the air and heat can circulate.

5. 5

   Close the basket and air fry for 5 minutes. Open the basket and use tongs to flip the steaks over. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, then use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.For a medium rare filet mignon, the internal temperature should be 130°F (55°C). For a steak cooked to medium, cook an additional 2 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

6. 6

   While the filet mignon is in the air fryer, combine the soft butter, chopped parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl, mixing until thoroughly combined.

7. 7

   When the steak is cooked to your liking, remove from the air fryer and transfer to a plate. Top with parsley butter and let the steaks rest for 10 minutes. Slice meat against the grain and serve.
