If you’re like us, you already use your air fryer to cook just about everything–why not use it to make one of your favorite steaks? Done right, filet mignon comes out tender and luscious in the air fryer, no oven or stove needed. In fact, you don’t even have to flip it during cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 ButcherBox Filet Mignon about 4 ounces
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Additional seasonings such as dried rosemary or thyme optional
Instructions
- Let the steak sit on the counter until it reaches room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380ºF. Pat the steak dry thoroughly. Rub with the oil and season with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings.
- Place the steak in the air fryer and cook until a meat thermometer stuck into the thickest part reads 120ºF to 125ºF for medium rare, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
