Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients (Dijon mustard, olive oil, blonde beer, honey, herbes salées, shallot, thyme, garlic and lemon zest), then season with pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with about ½ cup (125 ml) of the marinade until well coated. Keep the remaining marinade in the fridge for other grilling.
Preheat the barbecue to maximum heat with a large barbecue wok set on the grate. Add the green beans without overcrowding the wok (if they pile up, they’ll steam instead of grill).
Grill for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are cooked but still nice and crispy with grill marks. Serve immediately, with a little drizzle of fresh marinade if you feel they need a bit more.
