Prepare the Broccoli
Wash the fresh broccoli under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Cut the broccoli into florets, leaving some of the stem attached for texture.

Set Up Steamer
Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and place a steamer basket inside. Ensure that the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Steam the Broccoli
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket. Cover the pot again and steam the broccoli for 5-7 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
