About Steamed Broccoli
Golden Corral Steamed Broccoli costs from $2.99 as a To Go side and carries 80 calories. The kitchen steams florets until they turn bright green and tender at the stem, then seasons lightly so the vegetable stays the flavor rather than the butter. It is among the lowest calorie items on the entire buffet line.
Broccoli is the plate balancer at a buffet. Two servings alongside a protein keep a tray under control without feeling like a diet decision, and the salad bar cheese sauce turns it into something kids will actually eat. Serve it next to sirloin steak for the steakhouse plate. The recipe below takes six minutes.

Tips
- Salt after cooking, not in the steam water. Salted steam does nothing for flavor.
- An ice bath stops the cooking cold if you are making it ahead.
- Stems are the sweetest part. Peel and slice rather than throwing them away.
Variations
- Toss with parmesan and lemon zest.
- Add a cheese sauce for a kid friendly version.
- Roast at 425 F instead of steaming for a charred, nuttier result.
Serving Ideas
- Serve alongside steak and a baked potato.
- Chop cold leftovers into a pasta salad.
- Blend into a broccoli cheddar soup base.
