Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water. Place over high heat. Add a steaming basket, a steaming insert, or use a metal colander or strainer. Be sure that bottom of steamer does not touch the top of the basket
Snap ends from beans. Rinse beans. When the water reached a rapid boil, place the beans in the steaming basket. Cover tightly and steam for 3-6 minutes, until beans have turned bright green and are crisp-tender (still break, but are considerably more tender than raw green beans).
While the beans are steaming, prepare the sauce.
To serve, drain any remaining liquid to beans and place in a serving dish. Pour sauce evenly over the top of the beans. Sprinkle with lemon zest. Serve immediately (cover if it'll be a minute for people to get to the table).
