Ingredients
  • 3 potatoes
  • Vegetable oil, as needed
  • Salt & pepper, as needed
  • 14 oz. filet mignon steaks, room temperature
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 dash hot sauce
  • 1 tsp. vinegar
  • ½ cup butter, melted and heated
  • ¼ cup tarragon
  • 5 cups arugula
Instructions
  • Wash the potatoes (no need to peel), then slice into batons just over 1 cm thick. Place them in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and let soak for 1 hour.
  • Once ready to cook, drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Toss with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper, then place in Drawer 1 of your Instant Air Fryer.
  • Drizzle the filet steak with a little oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and place in Drawer 2.
  • Select Drawer 1, then select Air Fry. Set the temperature to 375°F / 191°C and the time to 25 minutes.
  • Select Drawer 2, then select Grill. Set the temperature to 400°F / 204°C and the time to 10 minutes (for rare / medium-rare). Press SyncFinish to ensure both drawers finish cooking at the same time.
  • Once cooking is complete, remove the steak and cover with foil and a tea towel to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Increase the temperature in Drawer 1 to 400°F / 204°C and Air Fry the fries for an additional 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • While the fries finish cooking, prepare the béarnaise by blending egg yolks, hot sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a jug or mixing bowl using a stick blender. Slowly drizzle in hot butter while blending until the sauce emulsifies and thickens. Stir in chopped tarragon and season to taste.
  • When the fries have finished, slice the rested steak into medallions. Plate alongside the crispy fries and fresh arugula, then drizzle the béarnaise sauce over the steak. Enjoy!
