Air Fryer Filet Mignon
Ingredients
- 2 oz filet mignon steaks
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ stick, softened
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon parsley finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Pat steaks dry with a paper towel.
- Allow steaks to sit out of the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to get to room temperature before cooking.
- Make garlic butter, if using, by combining softened butter with garlic, parsley and salt. Mash the mixture together until combined. Set aside.
- Combine salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and thyme in a small bowl. Rub seasonings on all sides of the steak.
- Spray air fryer basket with avocado oil and preheat to 400° F.
- Place steak into your air fryer basket and cook until the steaks have reached your desired level of doneness. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the right temperature. We prefer medium steaks (with an internal temp of 140°F) and cook the steaks for 6 minutes, flip then cook for an additional 6 minutes. If you prefer medium-rare, cook the steaks for less time and for a more well done steam, add some additional time.
- After cooking, allow steak to rest before cutting, about 5 minutes. Top with a pat of garlic butter, if desired and enjoy.

- These times are based on a 1.5-inch thick filet. If the steak is thicker or thinner, adjust by 1-2 minutes accordingly.
- Resting: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after air frying to allow juices to redistribute and for the temperature to rise slightly.
- Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for slightly under your target, as the steak will continue to cook slightly while resting.
