AIR-FRYER BACON-WRAPPED FILET MIGNON

Air-Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon image

I got the idea for bacon-wrapped filet mignon when I saw some on sale in the grocery store. The rest was inspired by my husband, because he once made a Scotch and ginger ale sauce. I originally made this in the oven but it works equally well in the air fryer! -Mary Kay LaBrie, Clermont, Florida

Time 12m

Yield Makes 3-6 rashers

Number Of Ingredients 1

Ingredients

6 rashers streaky bacon, or 3 rashers back bacon

Steps:

Lay the bacon in a single layer in the base of an air fryer - be sure the layers aren't overlapping. The size of the air fryer basket will determine how many rashers you can cook at one time.
Set the air fryer to 200C and cook streaky bacon rashers for 6-10 mins - just-cooked bacon will take 6 mins, but crispier bacon will take 9-10 mins. Cook back bacon rashers for 4-8 mins, depending on your preference. If you are cooking in batches, remember that the second batch will usually be quicker as the air fryer has heated up.
Remove the bacon using tongs and put on kitchen paper to drain before serving.
