Coat a pan with non-stick spray and turn the heat to low.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and brown them.

Slice 0.5 pounds of sirloin steak thinly.

Once the steak is sliced, add it to the pan and turn the heat up to medium.

In a measuring cup, combine 0.5 cups of soy sauce, 1 cup of beef broth, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and 0.33 cups of brown sugar, then whisk thoroughly.

Once the beef is almost cooked through, add the sauce to the pan and turn the heat up to medium-high.

To make a slurry, mix 2 tbsp of cold water with 2 tbsp of corn starch until dissolved.

When the sauce is at a rolling boil, add the slurry to the pan and mix until the sauce thickens.

Turn the heat down to low and add 2 cups of fresh broccoli, stirring to coat in the sauce.

Cover the pan and steam the broccoli for about 10 to 15 minutes.
