Fresh green beans steamed; then sautéed with butter, chicken or beef broth, Kosher salt and black pepper will be your new favorite vegetable.
Have you ever eaten at Outback Steakhouse and had their green beans? Our kids just love them and that says a lot!
I looked everywhere to find the recipe with no luck, but I came up with this version and I have to say, they're very similar.
Green beans are my personal favorite vegetable and over the years I've made quite a few variations like Chili Garlic Green Beans, Green Beans with Tomato and Garlic and Parmesan Roasted Green Beans.
However, these Sautéed Green Beans have become our go-to vegetable over the years because they're so simple to make and tasty every time. ~Enjoy!
Ingredients Needed
For this recipe you'll need:
- fresh green beans
- butter
- chicken or beef broth: If serving with poultry, I use chicken broth and with beef, I use beef broth.
- kosher salt
- black pepper
How do you make Sautéed Green Beans?
Add the green beans to a double boiler pot with water on the bottom, cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
Once the water comes to a rolling boil, steam the green beans for approximately 3 minutes. You want them to be on the crispier side and not mushy.
Drain the water and place the green beans back into the bottom of the pot. Next, add the butter and melt over medium high heat; then add the broth.
Saute for 2-3 minutes until the broth is reduced and becomes slightly thickened; then season with salt and pepper.
