Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  2. Add the fresh green beans to the boiling water and cook for 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and keep their bright green color.
  4. Drain the green beans from the ice water and pat dry with a clean towel.
  5. Heat unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
  6. Add the minced garlic clove to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  7. Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter.
  8. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through and well coated.
  10. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
