Instructions
Blanch Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender. Transfer beans to ice water to stop cooking, then drain.
Sauté In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add green beans Pat the blanched green beans dry and add them to the skillet. Toss the beans in the garlic-infused oil until coated.
