Prepare the Broccoli: Wash the broccoli head thoroughly under cold running water. Pat dry. Cut the large head into bite-sized florets, aiming for a uniform size for even cooking. Peel the tough outer layer of the main stalk and slice it into 1/4-inch thick coins; they are delicious and nutritious too.
Set Up the Steamer: Pour about 1 inch of water into a large pot or saucepan. Place a steamer basket inside, ensuring the water level is below the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Steam the Broccoli: Carefully place the broccoli florets and stem pieces into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to medium. Steam for 4-5 minutes.
Check for Doneness: After 4 minutes, carefully lift the lid and check the broccoli. It should be a vibrant, bright green color and tender-crisp. You should be able to easily pierce the thickest part of a stem with a fork. Avoid overcooking, which makes it mushy and dull in color.
Season and Serve: Using tongs or an oven mitt, carefully remove the hot steamer basket from the pot. Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish. Immediately season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine and serve warm.
