Broccoli with Peppered Parmesan

So for Thanksgiving, I figured I should actually put together a meal, not just an entree for once. While the Beef Tenderloin would have been just fine by itself, seeing as it was Thanksgiving I figured I needed a side -- and I figured this out ON Thanksgiving. Which doesn't really work so hot when it comes for needing ingredients.

I had frozen broccoli, I had parmesan, and I had cracked black peppercorns from the beef, so... why not? This quick and easy combo actually turned out really nice, and complemented the beef quite nicely.
