Dramatically Seared Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Heat wok or deep skillet. When hot, add oil and swirl to coat the pan.
• Raise heat to high and wait about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and season with salt to taste. Cook 3 minutes, using tongs or shake to turn and move beans to cook them quickly and evenly. Continue to cook till desired doneness.
• Season with garlic and red pepper flakes to taste and continue to cook for another minute.
• Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and when melted, add the beans. Let the beans sit and blister for about 90 seconds, then toss and allow to blister some more. Add the soy sauce, toss to coat the beans and serve.

Steps:

• Place a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. After about two minutes, add the oil, and swirl to coat the pan. Turn the heat to high, and wait another 30 seconds or so, then add the green beans and a big pinch of salt. Cook over high heat, shaking the pan and/or using tongs to turn and move the beans so they cook quickly and evenly. After about 3 minutes, take a taste test and see if the beans are done to your liking. They should be relatively crunchy, but you get to decide. If you like them cooked a little more, keep going until they're your kind of tender. Sprinkle in the garlic and some red pepper flakes, and cook for just a minute longer. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
