Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans, removing any tough ends.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

Step 3

Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their vibrant green color. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to bubble.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

Add the blanched green beans, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Toss to coat the green beans in the garlic-butter mixture.

Step 7

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover it with a lid. Let the green beans steam for 2-3 minutes until they are fully tender.

Step 8

Remove the lid and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the green beans. Toss gently until the cheese melts and coats the green beans evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with an extra pinch of parmesan cheese if desired.
