Heat the skillet by adding olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.

Push the beef to one side and add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until onion is translucent.

Stir in broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to brighten in color.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to coat all ingredients.

Cover the skillet and steam for 5-7 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.

Reduce heat to low and pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine and scrape the bottom of the pan.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, cover, and cook for 2-3 minutes until melted.

If using, drizzle Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle red pepper flakes, mixing gently before serving.
