Rinse and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Place a steamer basket over the pot and steam the broccoli florets for 5-6 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
While the broccoli is steaming, toast the pecans. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the pecans. Toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and water. Stir until well combined.
Once the broccoli is steamed, remove it from the basket and arrange it on a serving plate.
Drizzle the broccoli with the oyster sauce mixture, ensuring it evenly coats the florets.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the broccoli for a crunchy texture.
Season with a pinch of black pepper for added flavor and serve warm as a side dish.
