Instructions
- Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 400°F.
- Lay the bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook them at 400°F for about 2-4 minutes until they're partially cooked but not yet crispy. Remove the bacon and place them on a paper towel.
- Take two slices of your partially cooked bacon and wrap each slice of bacon around a steak. Secure each piece of bacon with toothpicks. Be sure to have even coverage around the sides of the steak.
- Sprinkle black pepper and kosher salt evenly over the bacon-wrapped steaks and then lightly spray or brush the air fryer rack with olive oil.
- Place the bacon-wrapped steaks onto the air fryer rack in a single layer. Close the air fryer and cook them for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, carefully flip the steaks using tongs. Continue cooking the steaks for another 5 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Serve with a tablespoon of butter if desired.
- Cooking Guide: Rare 120-125°F 8-10 minutes, Medium Rare 130-135°F 10-12 minutes, Medium 140-145°F 12-14 minutes, Medium Well 150-155°F 14-16 minutes, Well Done 160°F and above 16-18 minutes
- Once cooked to your preferred doneness, remove the golden brown steaks from the air fryer and then let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the toothpicks from the filet mignon steaks and serve them hot. Enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped filet mignon straight from the air fryer!
Notes
- Partially Cook Bacon: Pre-cooking the bacon in the air fryer before wrapping it around the steaks ensures that it cooks evenly and crisps up nicely without overcooking the filet mignon.
- Even Bacon Coverage: Make sure to cover them evenly to prevent any exposed areas from drying out during the cooking process.
- Use Room Temperature Steaks: Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking to make sure they cook evenly throughout and also to prevent them from toughening up.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: This ensures the air fryer reaches the optimal temperature for cooking resulting in evenly cooked and crispy steaks.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket so they can cook evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F, medium 140°F, and well-done 160°F.
- Let Steaks Rest: 5-10 minutes allows the juices to redistribute for juicy and flavorful steak.
