1. Remove the kale stems and chop the kale into pieces.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Add the kale, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the kale has wilted down. Use a spoon to mix around the kale while it sautés.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the butter, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes. Continue to stir until the butter is melted.
