In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the beef with a pinch of salt. Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes. Stir and cook for 1 minute more until browned. Transfer the beef to a plate. Done when browned, 145°F.
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium-high heat with the remaining oil. Add the broccoli and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook until the water evaporates. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Give the sauce a quick whisk and pour it over the mixture. Toss constantly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli. Serve over the fluffed rice.
