If it's barely steamed, then it has so much fresh flavor that it just needs a little REAL butter and Kosher or sea salt!. If yours doesn't have that taste, you might be overcooking it!. I put the florets in 1/4" water; cover with waxed paper, and microwave just about 2 min - just until it turns bright green and is still crisp & crunchy!. In fact, you could let it cool and then dip it into Ranch dressing, if you want!. Personally, I don't like cheese sauces on veggies, because that smothers their natural fresh flavors!.!.!.!.!.!.!.And, if you add citric acid or vinegar to it, it will turn a disgusting olive green color!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I steam broccoli and add it to carmelized shallots (shallots are small onions - slice them and cook them in butter to carmelize, they're done when they are browned)!. Add some slivered almonds (bake them a couple of minutes) and some pepper and salt!. It's really good!.

Instead of water, try steaming with chicken broth!. Instead of salt, maybe use lemon pepper or garlic salt!.
You can also sautee in a pan with chicken broth & diced garlic!.
