Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli crowns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and set a steamer basket over the top. Steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
Remove the sauce from heat and drizzle it over the steamed broccoli.
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
