Serving Size 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen French green beans
  • 1 Tbsp butter or extra-virgin olive oil or a combination of the two
  • 2-3 tsp steak seasoning I like the Noble Made brand best

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to sizzle. Add the frozen bag of green beans.
  • Let the green beans cook, uncovered until they defrost completely. Then, crank up the heat to medium-high.
  • The goal is to heat the beans up fast and let them brown. That caramelized texture gives the most amazing flavor and texture.
  • Once the green beans are caramelized, add the steak seasoning of your choice and stir to coat.
  • Serve the green beans with your favorite protein.
  • Have leftovers? Heat up leftovers in a skillet, not the microwave. This is our favorite way to cook frozen green beans.
