Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the trimmed green snap beans to the boiling water, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly tender. Drain the green beans and set them aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and table salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 3
Add the cooked green snap beans to the mixing bowl, and toss them with the sauce mixture until they are well coated.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the coated green snap beans to the skillet and cook them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly charred and crispy.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and transfer the green snap beans to a serving dish.

Top the green snap beans with the diced plum tomatoes and serve as a spicy and flavorful side dish.
