Family got me an Air Fryer for Xmas and its been fun using it but I thought it was nice for specific tasks... However as I was looking at some other use in the bottom of the google search was a note about cooking a steak at 250 degrees.  So I put that little nugget away in my brain for a bit.

Over the weekend grabbed some Filet Mignon and I said hell lets try it. 
-Dropped them into the air fryer at 250 for 15 min.
-Checked them at 8 min in... ~75 degrees.  NBD except trying to match something else cooking
-Raised temp to 275 for remaining 8 min
-At end of 15 min ~120 or so.  Put them back in for 5 min at 250
-Got a Cast Iron Skillet hot (infrared gun said 550) dropped butter and garlic in
-Pulled the now ~130 filets and dropped into skillet for 2 min a side



Frankly I was blown away at how tender the dang thing was and the ease of using it was a big plus.  Daughter loved them but we both agreed the new Kinders Butter seasoning we got at Costco was a miss and I'll go back to using a format similar to pepper crusted.

Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    Woah.  We have a 10 in 1 instant pot, that's about to become an 11 in 1. My wife got an air fryer lid for it on Amazon, arrives tomorrow, so we'll have this function now.

    Didn't think to use it for cooking meat.  So it came out as tender as I am imagining right now?

    Yes it was a super easy Reverse Sear cook- absolutely tender.
