Begin by preparing the vegetables: trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, placing them cut-side down, and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Stir in the sliced carrots and green beans, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Pour in the water and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for 7-8 minutes, or until tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and stir in the fresh dill and lemon zest. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the dilled Brussels sprout medley to a serving dish and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh dill for presentation, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
