Preparation
Step 1
Melt the butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook, stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans, and gently toss to coat with the shallot mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the wine. Raise heat to medium-high; cook, stirring often, 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the beans are tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir in the tarragon, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with tarragon sprigs.
