Add corn; stir-fry 2 minutes more. Remove from wok. Carefully add the 2 tablespoons broth to wok. Add the meat; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired doneness. Push meat from center of wok. Stir sauce; pour into center of wok. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Return vegetables to wok. Stir to coat all ingredients with sauce. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or until heated through. Serve over hot cooked rice. Makes 4 servings. Note: Partially freeze the beef to make it easier to slice.
