Longhorn Steakhouse Broccoli Ingredients

It’s actually super simple to make broccoli like your favorite steakhouse – just three ingredients! You might need to make a double batch – it’s that good! Here’s what you need:

  • Broccoli – I like using the pre-cut florets for time savings but I still trim the stem. I like my pieces fairly small rather than huge tree trunks of broccoli! 😂
  • Butter – melted butter is your friend when it comes to steamed broccoli – that’s why restaurant broccoli always tastes so good! (you can use salted or unsalted butter – whatever you have on hand)
  • Seasoning Salt – I like to mix this in with the melted butter – so good! You can also use your favorite seasoning mix – lemon pepper would be great as well!

Recipe Variations

This recipe mimics the restaurant version but you can mix it up as well! I made mine in the microwave but you can also do it on the stove! Here are some ideas:

  • Stove Top – you can do this on the stove as well – put an inch of water in a pot (2-3 cups of water) and add the steamer basket with the broccoli. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat and cover with lid and let broccoli steam for 5-7 minutes.
  • Garlic Parmesan – Add minced garlic and Parmesan cheese to the melted butter for a garlic parmesan broccoli
  • Cheese – whether you just add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or you make your own cheese sauce – cheese always makes it better!
  • Lemon – if you’re a big fan of lemon flavor, add lemon zest and Lemon juice to the melted butter for a lemon butter sauce

  1. On a cutting board, trim ends of broccoli and remove any leaves with a sharp knife and cut into bite sized pieces.
  2. Place broccoli florets into microwaveable steamer basket. Add water to the bottom of the steamer tray.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

How do you store and reheat leftover broccoli?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the air fryer at 300º for 3-4 minutes.

Why is restaurant broccoli so good?

Butter, butter and butter!
