Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the rice cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and the remaining 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl.
Heat the canola oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the beef slices in a single layer and sear without moving until well-browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more until just cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate. Done when browned and tender, 145°F.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and a tablespoon of water. Cover for 2 minutes to steam. Remove the lid, add the garlic and ginger, and toss for 1 minute until the aromatics are fragrant and the water has evaporated.
Return the beef to the skillet. Whisk the sauce once more and pour it over the beef and broccoli. Toss constantly for 1 minute until the sauce becomes glossy and thick enough to coat the ingredients. Serve over the steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
