Method
 

How to Make Air Fryer Filet Mignon
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a perfectly cooked steak.
  2. Pat dry the filet mignon steaks using a paper towel. Season them generously with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned steaks.
  4. Place steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through.
  5. Add butter in the last two minutes of cooking by placing a pat on each steak.
  6. Let rest the steaks after removing them from the air fryer for about 5 minutes.
