Step 1

Steam green beans until tender-crisp and set aside. If using steam-in-bag fresh green beans, I found about 3 minutes in the microwave was perfect. You may also preheat your sauté pan to medium low, add 1/4 cup of water and green beans, cover, and steam for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

Melt one tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan over medium low heat. Add garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until garlic is super soft and aromatic. Take care to ensure the garlic doesn't brown, lowering heat if necessary.

Step 3

Add Worcestershire sauce to the pan and stir to make a rich brown garlicky sauce. Add steamed green beans, salt, and pepper, and stir until beans are coated in sauce and heated through. Remove pan from heat.

Step 4

Add remaining butter and toss until the butter melts from the residual heat. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
