  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef for about 6–8 minutes until completely cooked through.
  2. Push the browned beef to one side of the skillet and add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups of broccoli florets, mixing them thoroughly with the beef and aromatics. Stir well for about 1 minute.
  4. Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of onion powder.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
  6. Lower the heat and pour in ½ cup of heavy cream, stirring to combine and scrape up browned bits from the skillet.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the creamy mixture and cover the skillet again to melt the cheese for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
