Start by cooking the rice: combine 1/2 cup uncooked rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook according to package directions for about 15 minutes.

Cut the beef into thin strips, removing any excess fat as you go. Use about 1 pound of beef.

Transfer the sliced beef to a bowl and add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Mix well to coat the beef and let it marinate for 30 minutes.

After marinating, heat a skillet over medium to high heat and add the marinated beef. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring until the beef is no longer red.

Add 1/2 cup beef broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup water with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to thicken the sauce.

Add almost 2 cups of broccoli to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until the broccoli is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
