A delightful twist on classic green beans, enhanced with a zesty lemon butter sauce.
Prepare the green beans by trimming the ends and washing them thoroughly.
Trimming the ends ensures even cooking and a better presentation.
Place the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam until tender yet crisp, about 8 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the vibrant green color and crisp texture.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
Transfer the steamed green beans to a serving bowl and drizzle with the lemon butter sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Tossing gently ensures the beans are evenly coated without breaking them.
Serve the green beans warm as a side dish, garnished with additional lemon zest if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the best flavor and texture.
