Instructions
- Cook the Green Beans: Pour enough water into the bottom of a large saucepan or skillet so that it covers the bottom by ¼”. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the green beans. Cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Remove the green beans from the skillet and drain in a colander.
- Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Add 1 tablespoon of oil and onions to the dry skillet over medium heat. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and continue sautéing for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the Green Beans: Turn off the heat and add the green beans, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine and serve immediately with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Trim the green beans and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
- Storage Directions:
- Keep leftover green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 days. To freeze, place green beans in a freezer bag or container. For the best results, flash freeze green beans in a single layer first to keep them from bunching together. To reheat, cook in a skillet over medium heat with additional butter or oil as needed.
- Recipe Tips
- Save time. Buy a bag of pre-trimmed green beans at the store.
- Look up. The better vinegar options are usually located on higher shelves at the grocery store.
- Pay attention. Don't boil the green beans too long to ensure they have the best texture.
- Go fresh. Stick with minced garlic cloves and avoid garlic powder for the most flavor.
- Add a kick. Sprinkle some red pepper flakes for spice or fresh lemon juice just before serving this easy recipe.
