Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes.

Whisk broth mixture again, and pour into skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Return broccoli mixture to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce evenly coats meat and vegetables, 3 to 4 minutes.
