Prep 20 min · Cook 5 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sugar, and the remaining 3 tbsp of water until smooth.
Heat half the canola oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes. Stir and cook for 1 more minute until browned. Remove beef from the pan. Done when browned, 145°F.
Add the remaining canola oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli and a splash of water. Cover for 2 minutes to steam. Uncover, add the garlic and ginger, and toss for 1 minute until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
Return the beef and its juices to the skillet. Give the sauce a quick restir and pour it in. Toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place on a plate. Top with the beef and broccoli and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
