Steam or blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened.

Add minced garlic, and sauté for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Toss in the steamed broccoli and stir well to combine.

Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.

Sprinkle with chili flakes and fresh parsley before serving.

For a richer flavor, use butter instead of oil.

Add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for brightness.

Pairs beautifully with rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.

Make it vegan by using plant-based butter or just olive oil.
