1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
2. To a large bowl, add the soy sauce, garlic, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, optional salt, pepper, and optional cayenne or red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine.
3. Add the steak, stir to combine, and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes (if you have time and can marinate for up to 1 hour, even better).
4. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the steak to the sheet pan with space in between the pieces; set aside.
5. Add the broccoli to the marinade mixture and give it a quick dunk, just to moisten it a bit. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to the sheet pan, and scatter it in between the steak if possible so food isn’t overlapping too much; reserve the marinade.
6. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and the broccoli is fork-tender.
7. While the food bakes, optionally add the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
8. Add the cornstarch and cold water to a small bowl, stir to combine, and add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling saucepan, whisking nearly constantly for 30 seconds or until dissolved. If desired, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water for consistency, whisking until incorporated and smooth.
9. After the beef and broccoli are done, evenly drizzle with the sauce, to taste.
