Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
Chop the ends off of the Brussels sprouts and remove the outer leaves and any more that are damaged or yellowed.
Cut the large Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise, and leave the small ones whole.
Add the water and Brussels sprouts to the hot skillet, and put on the lid.
Steam for 6 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and add the oil, salt, and pepper.
Stir the Brussels sprouts until they're evenly coated.
Sauté them for about 4 minutes until the outside is crispy, stirring only once or twice.
Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish!
