In a small saucepan, combine the rice, 1/2 cup of the water, and a pinch of the 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.
Heat a dry 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and the remaining 3 1/2 tbsp of water until the cornstarch dissolves.
Toss the beef with a pinch of the salt. Heat half the oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes. Stir and cook 1 minute more until browned. Transfer beef to a plate. Done when is browned and 145°F.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2 minutes, then uncover and stir-fry until the water has evaporated and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
Give the sauce a final whisk and pour it into the skillet. Return the beef and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the beef and broccoli over the rice and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds.
