   • Start by steaming the fresh broccoli until it is barely tender. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the broccoli florets. You want them to be crisp-tender for the best texture.

2. Make the Dijon Mustard Sauce:

   • While the broccoli is steaming, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, extra virgin olive oil, low-sodium Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard (adjust to your preference for spiciness), cider vinegar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Heat the mixture over low heat until the butter melts completely and the ingredients are well combined. Stir occasionally to ensure even blending of flavors.

3. Combine and Serve:

   • Once the broccoli is steamed to your liking, transfer it to a serving dish. Pour the warm Dijon mustard sauce over the hot broccoli. Use a spoon to gently toss the broccoli in the sauce, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.

4. Serve Immediately:

   • Dijon Broccoli is best served immediately while it’s hot and the flavors are fresh. Garnish with additional cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired, for added flavor.

Recipe Notes:

• Dijon Mustard: The amount of Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper can be adjusted according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of mustard and omit or reduce the cayenne pepper.

• Storage: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove, being careful not to overcook the broccoli.
