A simple yet flavorful dish made with green beans and mushrooms, perfect as a side or main course.
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 pound green beans
- ½ pound brown mushrooms ½" thick slices
- ½ cup diced yellow onions ¼" dice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Liquids and Fats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the green beans thoroughly under cool water and drain well. Trim off the string ends. If the beans are very long, cut them in half. Set aside.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and ½ teaspoon salt. Saute until tender and lightly brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the onions, and saute until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the green beans, water, soy sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine. Increase to medium-high heat. Cover and cook until the beans are tender and bright green, about 3 to 4 minutes. If still crisp, add ¼ cup water and steam until crisp-tender. Remove the lid and stir until the water evaporates, about 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat and add the butter. Stir until melted and combined.
- Taste and season with more salt and pepper as desired. Serve while still hot.
Notes
Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cover and cook in the microwave in 30-second increments until hot. On the stovetop, cook over medium heat until hot.
