Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a bowl; set the mixture aside.
In the same skillet, heat sesame oil and add ground beef and onion. Cook until beef is browned, breaking it into chunks. Drain any grease, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the broccoli and sauce, cooking until thickened.
