Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off the stem ends or cutting them with a knife.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the green beans to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the garlic and oil.

Remove the lid and pour in the balsamic vinegar, stirring well to coat the green beans.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper and let the balsamic vinegar reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
