Bake for 75 minutes, then check: Cover the beans. Put in the oven and cook for 75 minutes. Taste the beans to see if they are soft and cooked through. Small beans, such as little pintos, will often be done at this point, especially if they soaked all night.
SautÃ© the beans: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add green beans and cook, stirring often, until the beans are bright and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season the beans: Add the garlic and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Steam the beans: Add the water and immediately cover. Cook covered until the beans are bright green and crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve: Add the red pepper flakes, if using, and serve immediately.
