Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and allow them to cook, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes. Toss the beans and allow them to cook again, undisturbed, for 1-2, or until they're starting to brown on multiple sides.
Lower the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring every few minutes. When the beans are crisp-tender, stir in the garlic and saute for 20-30 seconds. Remove from heat. Season to taste with salt and serve immediately.

Want to dress these up? Try tossing the beans with toasted almond slices, French fried onions, or finish the dish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. You can also add red pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese.
