Butter Garlic Broccoli with Sturdy Garlic & Herb Sauce

Butter Garlic Broccoli with Sturdy Garlic & Herb Sauce

Broccoli gets a bad rap. People either overcook it into a sad, mushy mess or drown it in bland, boring seasoning. But not today.

This quick and easy butter garlic broccoli recipe keeps things bold, vibrant, and packed with flavor. And the secret? Sturdy Garlic & Herb Sauce.

With a blast of robust garlic and herbs (and a whopping 20g of complete protein per serving!), this sauce takes regular broccoli from meh to absolutely mouthwatering. No weak flavors. No nutrition-deprived meals. Just real ingredients, real protein, and real good food.


What You’ll Need 

  • 16 oz Sturdy Garlic & Herb Sauce (80g protein per jar)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 5-6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 200g broccoli florets
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional, but recommended for a little kick)
  • 1 tsp cornflour + 2 tbsp water (for thickening the sauce)


How to Make It 

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a hot pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Toss in the onions and sauté for 30-40 seconds until softened.
  2. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and let them cook on medium heat until they start to soften.
  3. Add a splash of water to speed up cooking while keeping the broccoli’s crunch and vibrant green color. No sad, mushy broccoli here.
  4. Stir in Sturdy Garlic & Herb Sauce and let the flavors soak into the broccoli. If you want a thicker, saucier finish, mix cornflour with water to create a quick slurry and pour it in. Stir until the sauce thickens.
  5. Sprinkle with chili flakes for extra heat, and serve hot. This garlic-loaded, protein-packed broccoli pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, pasta, rice, or just straight from the pan.
