Trim the artichoke stem so it sits flat, then cut the top 1-2 inches off the leaves to remove sharp tips.

Place the artichoke stem-side down in the pot, cover, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
-
Reduce the heat to low and steam for 25–40 minutes, until the outer leaves pull away easily.

Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, add garlic, herbs, or pepper flakes to the steaming water.
