Pan Fried Green Beans

From: AllRecipes

These green beans were the side dish my grandmother
   served most often because we all love them. They are done
   but not mushy like canned beans. Prep Time: approx. 15
   Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 15 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 30
   Minutes. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

1 1/2 pounds fresh green
   beans, trimmed and snapped
garlic powder to taste
onion powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil


Directions
1 In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine
   green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
   Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid
   and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
2 When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the
   bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in
   the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a
   few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate
   the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel
   color, but not black.
