Soy Green Beans

Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables because they pair well with a wide variety of ingredients. While this recipe emphasizes the combination of carmelized onions and soy sauce, the addition of two or three Tablespoons of brown sugar will instantly transform the beans from salty to sweet. Either variety is a great accompaniment to the Honey Soy Flank Steak.
