Preparation Instructions

Trim the green beans. Fill your saucepan with about 1 inch of water. Cover with a lid and place over high heat.

If you have a steaming basket that is helpful but not necessary.

Place the trimmed green beans in the boiling water and steam briefly for about 3-5 minutes until the green beans are tender to the bite, but still bright green.

Drain off the excess water. Toss with the salt, butter or olive oil.
