Prep 20 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, most of the water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, whisk the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of the remaining water in a small bowl. Season the beef with the remaining salt.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook without moving for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more until browned but slightly pink in the center. Transfer beef to a plate. Done when browned and slightly pink in the center, 145°F.
Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining oil. Add the broccoli florets and the remaining tablespoon of water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Push the broccoli to the side of the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger to the empty space and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the beef and any juices to the pan. Give the sauce a whisk, pour it over, and toss for 1 minute until the sauce is glossy and thick.
Fluff the rice with a fork and mound it on a plate. Spoon the beef and broccoli with its sauce over the top and serve immediately.
