Easy Blistered Green Beans

Inspired by salty-crunchy, stir fry style green beans, Blistered Green Beans are a quick and easy side dish made by quickly cooking green beans in a hot pan just until they begin to blister, then tossing with soy sauce to bring out the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 tbs butter
  • ΒΌ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbs soy sauce

Instructions

  • Heat oil in cast iron or other heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat until oil shimmers
  • Add butter and green beans, let green beans sit about 3 minutes to blister before stirring
  • Toss green beans and continue to cook for about 3 minutes longer
  • When green beans have begun to soften and are blistered and blackened in spots (but not burned), add garlic powder and soy sauce. Turn off heat and stir to coat.
  • If green beans seem a little dry, add in a splash (1 tbs or so) of water to help loosen them up. This will depend on how much residual heat was left in your pan.
