Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, beef broth, and cornstarch until smooth; set aside.

Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli; stir to combine.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.

Season with black pepper and sugar to taste; stir well.

Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil.

Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
