Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 filet mignon steaks (6 to 8 oz each, about 1½ inches thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 2 cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Pat steaks dry, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Place steaks in the air fryer basket with space between them. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping after 4 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reaches 120°F for rare or 125°F for medium-rare.
  3. Top each steak with a butter cube, a garlic clove, and a rosemary sprig. Cook for 2 minutes more until butter melts and garlic is fragrant.
  4. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the buttery drippings spooned over the top.

Notes

If your steaks are thicker than 1½ inches, add 1 to 2 minutes to the initial 8-minute cook time before checking the temperature. A meat thermometer is the most accurate way to guarantee doneness.
