- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
- Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add fresh herbs if desired.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- The cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the steaks and the specific air fryer model.

- For added flavor, you can marinate the steaks for a few hours before cooking.
