Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (1 minute)

02

Step

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned. (1-2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic-infused oil. (1 minute)

04

Step

Pour in the water, then immediately cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. (30 seconds)

05

Step

Steam the broccoli until it is crisp-tender and vibrant green, approximately 5-7 minutes.

06

Step

Remove the lid and season the broccoli with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss to combine. (1 minute)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors!

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a drizzle of toasted sesame oil just before serving.
If you prefer a softer broccoli, steam for a minute or two longer.
Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
This dish pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
