Prepare one pound of green beans by trimming their ends and snapping/cutting them in half.
After putting the green beans in a large pan or skillet, cover them with water before bringing them to a boil.
Reduce the heat and allow the beans to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until the beans begin to soften. Once cooked, remove the green beans and drain them.
Place 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and heat for 1 to 2 minutes until it is melted.
When the butter is melted, add garlic and cook for a minute before returning the green beans to the skillet as well. Stir and saute further until the garlic is tender
Before serving, sprinkle the cooked ingredients with salt and lemon-pepper seasoning.
