Start by washing and trimming the green beans. I like to cut a tiny bit off on each end of the green beans. Next dice the red bell pepper and onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet on medium heat add the olive oil & butter. Sauté the red bell peppers and onion for 2-3 minutes. Next add the minced garlic and sauté an additional 30 seconds.
Now add fresh green beans and sauté for 2 minutes. The green beans will start to brighten in color.
Pour in the chicken broth and season the green beans with salt and black pepper. Stir well, cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the soy sauce, stir and finish cooking for 5 more minutes uncovered.
Once the green beans are tender to your liking and most of the chicken broth has been absorbed, turn off the heat, serve and enjoy!
