Sauteed Green Beans

🥘 Ingredients

• unsalted butter 2 Tbsp
• olive oil 1 Tbsp
• garlic cloves 2 large
• green beans 1 pound
• salt
• black pepper
• lemon ½

1. 1

   Melt unsalted butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and swirl into the butter mixture until fragrant, about 1 minute . You don't want the garlic to take on much color, just to become tender.
2. 2

   Add trimmed green beans and toss well, until they're coated in the butter and garlic mixture. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes (the beans will begin to steam and will brighten in color to a more lively green), then remove the pan from the heat, uncover and toss again to ensure all the beans contact the bottom of the pan.
3. 3

   Return the covered pan to the heat and cook, tossing every so often, until the beans are tender and cooked through but with a bit of a snap, about 3 minutes . Season with salt and black pepper and finish with a squeeze of lemon .
