This is just as the name implies, simple sautéed broccoli. Peeling the tough outer layer from the stems reveals the tender stalk. Quickly sautéed and finished with butter for a delicious side dish to a steak or piece of fish.

Sautéed Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Method

  1. Using a sharp knife, separate the broccoli top and cut into florets. Peel away the tough outer skin from the stalk and cut the stalk into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli in an even layer, cover and cook, turning every 3 or 4 minutes, until tender. Remove the broccoli to a serving platter. In the same pan, melt the butter and once sizzling, pour over the broccoli.
