Steamed Broccoli with Garlic, Butter, and Lemon

1. Prepare and Steam Broccoli

Cut the stems of the broccoli and peel them if necessary. Trim them into manageable pieces and cut the tops into florets. Steam the broccoli until tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

2. Cook Garlic in Butter

Melt the butter in a small heavy pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped garlic and a pinch of salt. Let them cook together until the garlic becomes fragrant.

3. Add Lemon Juice

After the garlic is fragrant, turn off the heat and add a big squeeze of lemon juice to the pan, stirring it into the butter and garlic mixture.

4. Combine and Serve

Place the steamed broccoli in a serving bowl and pour the flavored butter over it, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Serve immediately.
