I made these sauteed green beans as a quick and easy side dish for a college get-together with a few friends. Everybody loved them. Chili pepper flakes add a nice kick and everything is good with garlic.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a 10-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until it starts to become translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add vinegar and scrape and stir the brown bits from the pan.
Add green beans, butter, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; toss several times to mix with onions and garlic. Cook until beans are heated through and just start to lose their bright green color, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
