    This recipe will teach you how to cook Filet Mignon in the Air Fryer perfectly every single time! This steak is nice and seared on the outside yet so juicy and tender on the inside. This recipe is great for those nights where you want a gourmet dinner but do not have much time to cook it.

    What Makes This Recipe So Good?

    • First off, once you cook steak in the air fryer you will never want to cook it any other way! It keeps it nice and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. 
    • I love that this recipe is hands off meaning you can throw it in the air fryer and walk away! 
    • You no longer have to worry about oil and juices splattering everywhere on the stovetop, everything is nice and condensed in the air fryer. 
    • This recipe is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, paleo, Whole30, refined sugar free and carnivore diet friendly! 
    • You can have dinner on the table within 20 minutes with this recipe. 
    • I love keeping this recipe in my recipe deck with my other favorite steak dinners for date night! If you are like me and love steak as much as I do you will want to check out My Date Night Steak Dinner With Garlic Aioli.

    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.

    • How Do I Know If Steak Is Done?

      • I suggest keeping it in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 5 days.

    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!
