Directions:
1
Fill a large pot with 2-inches of water and place a steamer inside
2
Bring water to a boil

Add string beans and cover for 5 minutes, or until beans are cooked throughout but still crisp to the bite
4
If you don't have a steamer, toss beans in a large pot of boiling water for 4 minutes
5
Thoroughly drain water then return beans to the emptied pot
6
Let beans sit, uncovered, for 2 minutes so that any water coating them has evaporated
7
Pour out any accumulated water
8
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
9
Cook for 3 minutes, or until melted butter has turned golden brown (this adds a slightly nutty flavor)
