Step 1

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Combine beans and water together with a good pinch of salt (about 3/4 teaspoon). Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 3

Drain beans and set aside.

Step 4

Heat oil and butter together in the same pan. When butter has melted, sauté the green beans, moving them around in the pan to coat in the oil/butter mixture (about 1 minute). Add the garlic, another pinch of salt, and pepper and sauté until garlic is fragrant (30 seconds).

Step 5

Immediately take off the heat, squeeze over lemon juice through, mix through and serve.
