Steps:

1. Arrange Brussels sprouts in single layer, cut sides down, in 12-inch nonstick skillet. Drizzle oil evenly over sprouts. Cover skillet, place over medium-high heat, and cook until sprouts are bright green and cut sides have started to brown, about 5 minutes. 2. Uncover and continue to cook until cut sides of sprouts are deeply and evenly browned and paring knife slides in with little to no resistance, 2 to 3 minutes longer, adjusting heat and moving sprouts as necessary to prevent them from over browning. While sprouts cook, combine lemon juice and 1/4 tsp salt* in small bowl. 3. Off heart, add lemon juice mixture to skillet and stir to evenly coat sprouts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (NOTE: Eliminate pepper from all versions other than the "Lemon and Pecorino Romano" version.) Transfer sprouts to large plate, sprinkle with Pecorino*, and serve. * For other versions, see ingredients list above for what gets substituted where.
