Set Instant Pot to saute. Add the butter and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
Add the salt, pepper and 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of fresh green beans and give the mixture a stir. Pour 1 cup water over the top.
Set timer to 0 minutes on low pressure. It will take the pot around 10 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.
If frozen green beans are all you have on hand, increase cook time to 2 minutes on low pressure.
Replace the water with chicken broth for an even more flavorful side dish.
Delicious topping options include: Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, melted butter or olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, fine sea salt and/or cracked black pepper.
