Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until shimmery.
- Add the green beans in and lightly season with salt and pepper. Sauté the green beans for about 4 minutes, until you start to see some browning.
- Add water to skillet and cover with a lid. Let steam for about 2 minutes until the green beans are bright green.
- Remove the lid and once water has fully evaporated, add in the butter, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt (note: use a little less salt, if using salted butter). Stir the green beans around for about 1 minute, until garlic starts to become fragrant.
- Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.
