Steam Green Beans
- Microwave: Green beans can be steamed in the microwave by placing in a bowl and adding 2 tablespoons of water. Place a plate on the bowl to keep in the steam. Cook on high for 4 to 6 minutes.

- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet and the pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Add garlic, and heat until the garlic becomes fragrant.
