PERFECT STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cut off 2 inches from the stem end and peel the stalks. Bring an inch of water to a boil, set a vegetable steamer over the water, place the broccoli on the steamer, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until the broccoli is cooked through but still firm. An alternative way is to separate the florets from the stalks; steam the florets and reserve the stalks for another day.

Decrease the heat to low and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
