Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 shallot, diced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Other Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and trim the green beans, then cut them into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Clean and Slice the Mushrooms and Dice Shallot: Slice the mushrooms and finely dice the shallot to prepare all vegetables for sautéing.
- Sauté the Shallots and Garlic: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are tender and release their moisture.
- Cook the Green Beans: Toss the green beans into the skillet along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir to coat the beans evenly, then sauté for 5-7 minutes until they become tender-crisp, maintaining a slight crunch.
- Add Teriyaki Sauce: Drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly and enhance the flavor.
- Season and Serve: Season the dish with salt and pepper according to taste. Serve the teriyaki green beans warm, as a delicious side dish or paired with rice for a light meal.
