• Allow the shallot to cook over medium heat until it becomes slightly translucent.
• Add beans, boost heat to medium high. Toss the beans with the butter and oil until all are coated.
• Continue to toss the beans every few minutes, or until they are cooked through and a little browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
