  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the cornstarch mixture and toss to coat evenly.

  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger), and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
  9. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture in the skillet.
  10. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat everything evenly.
  11. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
