Garlic green beans recipe

Simmer: Bring the green beans to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until they're just tender. For this green bean recipe, it's better to undercook slightly than overcook. Drain the green beans and return them to the skillet. The residual heat will continue to cook the green beans. Sauté: Add butter to the hot skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, making sure the green beans are coated with the garlicy butter. Season and serve.
