Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound green beans, trimmed
4 strips bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brandy
1 tablespoon heavy cream
½ teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until bright green and tender, yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Turn heat to medium and sauté garlic in the bacon grease until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Adjust heat, and add soy sauce, brandy, cream, and brown sugar. Cook until liquid starts to bubble and thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add green beans to sauce in skillet and stir to coat. Serve immediately and top with cooked bacon.
