Ingredients
Filet Mignon
- 4 (6 oz) filet mignon
- 2 tablespoons Montreal seasoning
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Blue Cheese Butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with Montreal seasoning. Place the steaks in a shallow dish with olive oil. Allow them to marinate while they come to room temperature (about 10 minutes). This will ensure they cook evenly and also produces juicier meat.4 (6 oz) filet mignon, 2 tablespoons Montreal seasoning, 1/4 cup olive oil
- While the steaks are marinating, combine the butter, blue cheese, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator for later. I like to divide the mixture into ice cube molds and freeze them the night before, then place them on the counter to thaw while I cook the steaks.1/4 cup unsalted butter,, 1/4 cup blue cheese,, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, 1 garlic clove,
- Preheat the air fryer to 450° F. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Steaks should be about 135° F for medium-rare.Transfer the steaks to a foil covered plate to rest for 2 minutes. I like to place the blue cheese butter over the steaks to melt while they are hot and resting.
Notes
-
- Thickness matters: Times are for 1½–2-inch filets. For 1-inch steaks, start checking 2 minutes earlier; for 2+ inches, add 1–2 minutes. Always go by internal temp.
- When preparing the butter, I like to divide the mixture into flexible molds and freeze them the night before, then place them on the counter to thaw while I cook the steaks.
- Steaks should be about 135° F for medium-rare, which is what this recipe calls for. Cook your steak longer if you prefer it more well done.
