Instructions

Pat the filets dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 10–20 minutes.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease the basket with avocado oil spray.
Place the seasoned filets in the basket and air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or to your preference.
(Optional) To make garlic butter, mix 2 tablespoons softened butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Spoon over steaks immediately after resting so it melts.
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Notes

For optimal flavor, let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking.
Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking to your desired doneness.
Garlic butter adds a delicious finish but is optional.
