Ingredients

• 1 lb. fresh green beans, stems removed
• 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Steam the green beans by adding 2 to 3 inches of water to a deep stock pot with a steamer attachment. Bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans to a steamer basket and steam for 6 to 8 minutes, until they are slightly tender. 
2. Once tender, remove the green beans from the heat, drain water and set aside.
3. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it melted.
4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
