Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1-2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt
1 tbsp minced garlic
Directions:
Directions:
1. Combine soy sauce, honey, and 1 tbsp water in a small dish and set near the stove. Set a shallow serving dish near the stove, too.
2. In a 10" straight-sided saute pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, add the green beans, sesame seeds, and 1/2 tsp salt, and toss with tongs to coat well. Cook, turning the beans occasionally, until most are well-browned, shrunken and tender, 7 - 8 minutes. The butter will have turned dark brown - don't worry.
3. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula (keeps the sauce on top of the beans), until the garlic is softened and fragrant, 15-20 seconds.
4. Carefully add the soy mixture (you'll need to scrape the honey mixture into the pan.) Cook, stirring, until the liquid reduces to a glazy consistency that coats the beans, 30-45 seconds.
5. Immediately transfer the beans to the serving dish, scraping the pan with the spatula to get all of the garlicky sauce. Let sit for a few minutes, and then serve warm.

These are great served with roast pork or any Asian dish. They are as good as any Chinese restaurant serves. A favorite with our family.
