  Bring a large pot of water to boil. Place the green beans on a rack or special steamer basket over boiling water. Cover with a lid so that the steam does not escape. Steam for a few minutes until done. Set the green beans aside.

  In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved stock with the worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, butter, brown sugar, pepper juice and garlic powder. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Melt the jelly in this sauce.
