Place green beans in medium microwavable bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Cover with plastic wrap, folding back one edge 1/4 inch to vent steam. Microwave on High 5 minutes; let stand 1 minute, then drain.

In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add green beans. Add garlic and salt; toss to coat. Add stock; boil 4 to 6 minutes or until liquid thickens.

Feel free to use a 12-oz package of frozen green beans instead of fresh. Just make as directed on package, then drain and continue with step 2.
