This Copycat LongHorn Broccoli recipe recreates the flavorful steamed broccoli dish served at LongHorn Steakhouse, combining tender broccoli with buttery garlic sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for a delicious, easy side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound fresh broccoli florets

Other Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Steam Broccoli: Fill a pot with about one inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket set over the boiling water, cover, and steam for 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the broccoli steams, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  3. Toss Broccoli with Garlic Butter: Transfer the steamed broccoli to a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter over the broccoli and toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan cheese over the broccoli and gently mix it in to melt slightly and combine with the garlic butter.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste and add salt as needed. Serve the broccoli warm as a delicious and easy side dish.

Notes

  • You can use frozen broccoli florets if fresh is unavailable; adjust steaming time slightly.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
  • Grate your own parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use clarified butter to avoid burning the garlic.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as part of a light vegetarian meal.
