Combine the rinsed rice, most of the water, and a small pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to very low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Done when water is absorbed.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Season the beef with the remaining salt and the black pepper. Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more until browned. Transfer to a plate. Done when 145°F and browned.
Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover immediately and steam until the broccoli is bright green and just tender, about 3 minutes. Done when tender when pierced with a knife.
Uncover the skillet and cook off any remaining water. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds. Return the beef and any juices to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything. Serve over the rice. Done when sauce is glossy and thick.
