- 24 oz fresh green beans - ends trimmed
- 3 Tbsp salted butter
- 3 garlic cloves - minced
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- Add 24 oz fresh trimmed green beans to a large frying pan. Fill the pan with 1" of water. Bring water to a boil and let green beans cook until crisp-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain the water and move the beans to a strainer.
- Add 3 Tbsp salted butter and 3 minced garlic cloves to the frying pan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted.
- Add back the drained green beans and sprinkle ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper overtop. Toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes, mixing and flipping once or twice until some of the pieces get crispy. Scoop onto a plate and serve.

Notes
- Dry the green beans well after steaming so they sauté instead of steam and can develop light browning.
- Keep the heat at medium to melt the butter without burning the garlic.
- Cook just until crisp-tender to avoid soft or mushy green beans.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, though jarred minced garlic works in a pinch.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, since sautéed green beans soften as they sit.
