Steps

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter until sizzling.
2

Add broccoli in a single layer. Do not stir for 2–3 min to brown.
3

Flip broccoli, add remaining butter, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ground mustard. Sauté 1–2 min.
4

Add water or broth, cover, and steam for 2 min until tender.
5

Remove lid, let moisture evaporate. Add lemon zest, juice, salt, and pepper.
6

Toss with Parmesan (optional) and let it melt slightly before serving.

Tips

Don’t overcrowd the pan; use a large skillet. Browning adds flavor, so don’t rush this step. Add garlic after the broccoli starts cooking for the best aroma.
