Whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger and garlic in a bowl.

Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch until well combined.

Cook brown rice according to package instructions and set aside.

Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove broccoli to a plate.

Add ground beef to the skillet and sauté, breaking it up as you go, until no longer pink.

Return the broccoli to the pan and pour the stir-fry sauce over the top, starting with 1/2 cup and stirring to evenly coat everything.

Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve the stir-fry over the cooked brown rice and sprinkle with optional toppings like cashews and thinly sliced scallions.
