Prepare the Broccoli
Rinse the broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel. Cut the broccoli into florets, ensuring they are of similar size for even cooking.
Cooking

Steam the Broccoli
Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water and place a steaming basket or colander inside, ensuring it doesn't touch the water. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli florets to the steaming basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

Once steamed, remove the broccoli from the pot and place it in a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
