Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Preheat a hardwood fire for grilling, or heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 400°F).

  2. Step 2.

    Place a large cast-iron skillet on the grill grate and add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. When the butter is melted, add 1½ pounds trimmed green beans and toss to coat with the butter.

  3. Step 3.

    Cover the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, tossing the beans every few minutes with tongs, until they are cooked al dente and browned in spots.

  4. Step 4.

    Scrape the beans onto a serving plate, shower with flaky sea salt, and serve hot.
