Steamed broccoli with beurre blanc

Beurre blanc is one of the first things I was asked to make in a commercial kitchen. It's a French sauce that is surprisingly delicate, and it goes well with any green veg, like asparagus, broccoli or mangetouts. There are many ways of making it, so I thought I'd show you the two that I find most convenient.
