Broccoli with Garlic Sauce

1 large bunch fresh broccoli, about 1 1/3 pounds
1 bunch scallions (6 to 7)
3 large cloves garlic
1/4 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (40 percent less salt)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon SPLENDA® Granular
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Trim broccoli and cut into florets (retain about 60% of the bunch). Rinse broccoli, shake off excess water and place in 3-quart microwave-safe casserole dish. Set aside.

Slice white scallion bulbs into rings and mince garlic. Stir together scallions, garlic, beef broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, SPLENDA® Granular and cilantro.

Pour sauce over broccoli, cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes.

Stir broccoli, replace cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until broccoli is desired texture and sauce has thickened to coat broccoli. Stir in sesame oil and serve hot.
