How to make it

Mix the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch-water mix.
Sear the beef. Heat the oil in a big pan over high heat, add the beef, and cook 2–3 minutes till browned. Take it out.
Cook the broccoli. In the same pan, add the broccoli and a splash of water, cover, and cook 3 minutes till bright green and a little crisp.
Bring it together. Put the beef back, add the garlic and sauce, and stir till the sauce thickens.
Serve. Serve over rice.
