- Now, in a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, beef broth, and brown sugar. Pour that heavenly concoction over the beef and broccoli. Bring it to a bubbling simmer.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken everything up. Keep stirring until the sauce transforms into a glossy, thick delight that clings to every piece of beef and broccoli.
