Filet Mignon Instructions

  1. Wrap one slice of bacon around the sides of one filet until the bacon ends overlap. Secure with a toothpick by inserting it into filet (leaving the end sticking out for easy removal). Repeat for the second filet.

  2. Brush each side of the filets with light olive oil.

  3. Sprinkle steak seasoning onto each side of filets (if desired).

  4. Place the filets into the air fryer and cook for 4 1/2 minutes at 390°F | 199°C.

  5. Flip filets.

  6. Air Fry for an additional 4 1/2 minutes at 390°F | 199°C.

  7. Remove the filets from the air fryer, let rest for 5 minutes to bring the internal temperature up to the desired level. Remove the toothpicks from the filets.

  8. Plate and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

If you are cooking for one person that prefers rare, and one person that prefers their filet medium-well.   Practice with the thermometer, so you can hone in on the perfect time for your next filet.
