Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing fresh broccoli thoroughly, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
  2. In a pot, bring water to a boil and steam the broccoli for about 5–7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Once melted, add 2-3 cloves of minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Once the broccoli is steamed, carefully transfer it to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld while the broccoli remains vibrant.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli.
  8. Stir gently to ensure each floret is coated and let the residual heat melt the cheese.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving dish while warm.

Notes

Always use fresh broccoli for a crisp texture. Overcooking garlic can lead to bitterness. For crispy edges, consider roasting instead of steaming.
