How to access Recovery mode on Imac 2017 using Ventura

I shut down the iMac; rebooted holding Command + R; screen wouldn't move beyond the Apple Logo. Is there another technique? I need to get into Disk Utility in Recovery Mode.

is the iMac using the rechargeable Magic Keyboard? if yes, connect it to the iMac with it's charging cable before trying to boot into recovery. often it won't react quick enough to get into recovery over bluetooth.
