Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer the beans to a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
- Cook the bacon in a large heavy skillet until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off most of the rendered fat from the skillet, reserving only 2 tablespoons. Add the onion and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
- Add the reserved green beans and pecans and cook until heated through, another 5-6 minutes. Return the bacon to the pan, pour in the lemon juice, and stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
