Recipe Ingredients: 

• Filet-I love getting my filet from Butcher Box. They have the best quality stuff and it gets shipped right to your door! The beef from there is incredible, all grass fed too! I can personally taste a huge difference between grass fed and conventionally raised beef, the grass fed stuff is so much better! If you use my Butcher Box link you can get free meat with your order every single month.
• Ghee-Or butter. I love ghee because it is dairy free and I have a dairy sensitivity. I make my own homemade ghee using my Homemade Ghee Recipe. 
• Salt-All animal protein needs salt or it will taste dull! 
• Garlic powder and black pepper-To taste. 

How To Make:

• First, set the steak out and allow it to get closer to room temp. If it is cold when you air fry it, it will not come out as well. 
• Then, pat dry the steak with a paper towel. 
• Next, season the steak with salt, pepper and garlic powder. 
• Place in the air fryer at 400 degrees F starting out at 10 minutes. See the cooking instructions below to figure out how long to cook your steak. 
• Then, once the steak is done and cooked to your desired liking, drizzle the melted butter or ghee on top.

Chef’s Tips:

• Always let your steak sit out prior to cooking it. This allows the steak to cook more evenly.
• Seasoning is the key to make the steak taste even better! Do not skip.
• Before cutting the steak allow it to rest for all of the juices to soak in!
• Remember to use your meat thermometer to check if the steak is done, this is the best way to prevent over cooked steak!
