Garlic butter steamed green beans

Garlic Butter Steamed Green Beans are a delicious and simple side dish that can complement any meal. With just two primary ingredients, you can create a flavorful vegetable dish that's perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients:

16 oz green beans
450g
1 tbsp butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the green beans are steaming, heat 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. If using garlic, add the minced garlic to the skillet once the butter has melted. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
2. Combine Green Beans and Garlic Butter: Once the green beans are done steaming, add them directly to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss the green beans in the skillet until they are well-coated with the garlic butter, about 2-3 minutes. Ensure they are heated through.
3. Serve: Transfer the garlic butter green beans to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

- Tip 1: Use Fresh Green Beans

For the best flavor and texture, use fresh green beans. Look for beans that are bright green, firm, and free of blemishes.

- Tip 2: Trim the Ends

Make sure to trim both ends of the green beans before cooking. This helps them cook evenly and improves their overall presentation.

- Tip 3: Don't Overcook

Be careful not to overcook your green beans. Steaming them for about 5-7 minutes will keep them tender-crisp and preserve their bright green color.

- Tip 4: Season to Taste

Feel free to add additional seasonings such as salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the dish.

Garlic Butter Steamed Green Beans are a simple yet flavorful side dish that can be made in just a few minutes. With minimal ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, this dish is an excellent way to elevate your meal with a touch of elegance.
