Experience the luxury of steakhouse-quality filet mignon right at home with this air fryer recipe. Perfectly cooked, juicy steak with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 filet mignon steaks, approximately 1 1/2 inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt (preferably fleur de sel)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Step 1 – Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Step 2 – Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a better sear.
  • Step 3 – Rub each steak with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Step 4 – Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow air circulation.
  • Step 5 – Cook the steaks in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare doneness, flipping halfway through cooking.
  • Step 6 – Once cooked, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5-7 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and tender steak.
  • Step 7 – Serve your filet mignon with your choice of sides and enjoy a gourmet meal at home.
