A flavorful and easy-to-make broccoli side dish with a garlic butter balsamic glaze.
Steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Steaming preserves the vibrant green color and nutrients of the broccoli.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and salt, and whisk until combined.
Adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your taste preference.
Pour the garlic butter balsamic glaze over the steamed broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
