Lemon-Garlic Broccoli

We all really liked this broccoli.  Except for Josh, but that's a given.
I substituted half of the butter for extra virgin olive oil.  You could just substitute all of the butter for olive oil and it would be even healthier, but I did like that little bit of buttery flavor with the lemon.  : )

Lemon-Garlic Broccoli
2 bunches broccoli
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1. Place bunches of broccoli in a steamer basket inside a medium-size pan with no more than 2 inches of boiling water over high heat. Cover and steam for about 3 minutes, until barely tender. DON’T overcook!
2. In the meantime, melt butter in a large pan. Add finely minced garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add salt, pepper, and fresh squeezed lemon juice.
3. In a bowl, gently toss ingredients. Eat immediately!
