# How to Make It:
01 -
Splash in the water, throw a lid on top, lower the heat just a bit, and let things get nice and steamy. Stir every now and then so it all cooks the same.
02 -
Toss all the broccoli spears straight into your skillet. Add a big pinch or two of salt and give it a good stir so everything’s coated.
03 -
Warm the olive oil in a roomy skillet over pretty high heat. Drop in your chopped garlic and those crushed pepper flakes. Swish or stir so the flavor goes everywhere and let it all sizzle for a short bit.
04 -
Trim off any thick, tough skin on the stalk and cut your broccoli into spears that are about the same size.
05 -
Let it steam 15-20 minutes. Watch for broccoli to turn a deep olive color and get fork-tender. Taste and add more salt if you want.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Pour a little more olive oil over the cooked broccoli for extra flavor if you’re into that.
