Time 13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds string beans, stems trimmed
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 2-inches of water and place a steamer inside. Bring water to a boil. Add string beans and cover for 5 minutes, or until beans are cooked throughout but still crisp to the bite. If you don't have a steamer, toss beans in a large pot of boiling water for 4 minutes.
  • Thoroughly drain water then return beans to the emptied pot. Let beans sit, uncovered, for 2 minutes so that any water coating them has evaporated. Pour out any accumulated water.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, or until melted butter has turned golden brown (this adds a slightly nutty flavor). Remove from heat and add lemon juice and beans and toss thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss again.

These green beans were bland. I think I'll try adding some more garlic and salt next time.

I found that the green beans didn't cook evenly. Some of them were still crunchy while others were overcooked.

These green beans were a little too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

I added some chopped almonds to these green beans and they were delicious! It gave them a nice crunchy texture.

I'm not usually a big fan of green beans, but these were really good. The browned butter and garlic gave them a lot of flavor.
