1
Wash the String Beans
Rinse the string beans thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Trim the ends of the beans if necessary.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
5
Add the String Beans
Add the prepared string beans to the skillet. Stir to coat the beans with the garlic and oil mixture.
6
Season the Beans
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the string beans. Stir well to combine.
7
Dry Sauté the Beans
Continue to sauté the string beans for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and have brightened in color.
8
Serve
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the dry sautéed string beans warm.
