Instructions
  1. Rinse green beans in a colander, then trim ends and snap in half.
  2. Peel* and slice garlic cloves. Heat oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-low heat, and add garlic. Cook and stir 1 minute, or until fragrant but not brown.
  3. Stir in green beans and cook about 1 minute. Add water if needed, then cover and steam on medium-low or low until crisp-tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  4. Drain if necessary, then squeeze juice from half a lemon over beans.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
