Cooking Instructions

2.
Meanwhile, melt the Unsalted Butter (4 tbsp) in a medium skillet.
3.
Add Garlic (3 cloves) and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp) and sauté on low heat until fragrant and slightly softened, about 1 minute, being careful not to brown.
4.
Whisk in Lemon Juice (1/2), Dijon Mustard (2 tsp), Salt (1/4 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
5.
Add cooked beans and toss until evenly coated with butter sauce. Serve immediately.
Author's Notes
Green beans can be cooked and cooled in an ice bath up to one day in advance. They will need more time to warm in the butter sauce if added from a chilled state.
