Drain and rinse the beans before cooking them. Quick-soak method: Rinse the beans, then put in a saucepan, cover with an inch of water, and bring to a boil. Boil for a few minutes and then let them soak for an hour off the heat, drain, and then add fresh water and continue cooking. Soaked beans will cook in about 90 minutes. Use 3 cups of water for each cup of uncooked beans, and you can season the beans by adding bay leaves, herb sprigs, or garlic cloves to the cooking water.
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.
