Submitted by MarthaStewartWanabe

"Tonight's dinner experiment was a home run in my hubby's opinion. He loved this quick, simple yet different way to cook green beans. First the green beans are steamed, and then they are tossed in seasoned browned butter. Easy & delicious--couldn't get any better than that! Yum!"
