方法 (hōhō) is a general 'way' or 'method', whereas 手段 (shudan) focuses specifically on the tool or tactic used to reach a goal.
使い方のコツ
手段 is often used when there is a clear goal in mind. It can sometimes carry a cold or tactical nuance, especially in the phrase 'shudan o erabanai' (not caring about the means).
よくある間違い
Learners often use 手段 when they mean 'how-to' (using a recipe or manual), where 作り方 (tsukurikata) or 方法 (hōhō) is more natural.

語源
Derived from the Chinese characters meaning 'hand' (te) and 'step/grade' (dan), implying the manual steps taken to accomplish a task.

文化的な背景
In Japanese society, choosing the 'proper' means (shudan) is often as important as the result, reflecting a focus on process and harmony.
