Heat a small amount of water in a saucepan with a steamer basket.
When boiling, place the green beans into the steamer basket and cover for 4-5 minutes. Green beans should be a brilliant green color, but still have a little snap.
Remove from the steamer basket and toss with the sherry, place into a serving platter.
Top with pat of butter, flaky sea salt and ground black pepper.
