Cooking steaks can feel intimidating but this recipe is so simple and even though I always reach for my skillet when cooking steak, this air fryer recipe has become my new go-to. With a handful of simple ingredients, this recipe is easy enough for a weeknight dinner but nice enough for special occasions or date night in.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Filet Mignon steaks. Beef tenderloin/beef fillet. This cooking method will actually work with ribeye, sirloin and rump too. Extra virgin olive oil. Seasoning: Use your favorite steak seasoning. I used a seasoning blend with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, coriander and red pepper flakes. You could use herbs like fresh rosemary, parsley and thyme too. Salt and black pepper.
