On Mac OS X:

1. In terminal, run ifconfig | grep 192. to get the internal IP of your machine on it's current network. It may be something like 192.168.1.140

2. Start a server. For example, node server.js may start a server on some port.

3. On your phone, visit 192.168.1.140:3000 or whatever port your server is running on.
