Ingredients

1. 1½ Tbsp. olive oil
2. 1½ Tbsp. butter
3. 2 cups frozen Brussels sprouts, thawed and halved lengthwise
4. Salt and pepper
5. ½ cup water

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until lightly browned, turning once or twice and sprinkling with salt and pepper, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the water, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 10 minutes or until sprouts are tender but not mushy. Uncover, boil off any remaining water, and serve.
