- 3/4 pound green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Bring the water, oil, salt, green beans, and garlic to a boil in a skillet with sides.
- Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the vegetable is brightly colored and just tender, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the vegetable size.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes longer. (If you want to add fresh herbs, this is the point to add them.)
