Stir in broccoli florets and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

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

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
