Ingredients
Scale
- 2 filet mignon steaks
- olive oil spray or a light coating of extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- For cooking filets in the air fryer, start by spraying each side of the steak with olive oil, and generously salt and pepper each side.
- Next, place the filets in your air fryer basket or grill plate if you air fryer is equipped with one. For the model of air fryer that I use, the Breville Smart Oven Air, I like to cook things like steak on a wire rack with a sheet pan underneath to prevent the drippings from making a mess...it's totally not necessary though.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375° F. Place in the air fryer and cook the first side for 10 minutes. Flip the filets and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the filets from the air fryer, tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
