Slice sirloin thinly and trim off excess fat.

Sprinkle cornstarch over the sliced beef and add a couple teaspoons of soy sauce; mix to coat the beef.

Let the beef sit for about 5 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over high heat and add vegetable oil until hot.

Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 1 minute on each side until nicely seared; remove to a clean plate.

In the same skillet, add sliced onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they develop color but retain some texture.

Add broccoli to the skillet and mix everything together; cook for about 4 minutes.

Prepare a slurry by mixing cornstarch with a little water in a bowl.

Add beef stock, brown sugar, and soy sauce to the skillet; let it cook down for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat.

Add the slurry to the sauce and cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy.

Stir in the cooked beef and serve over brown or white rice.
