Rinse the rice in a mesh sieve. Combine the rice and half the water in a small saucepan with a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Done when tender and water is absorbed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, the rest of the water, and half of the grated ginger and minced garlic until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Season the sliced steak with a pinch of 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 cook without moving for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more until browned. Remove the beef and any juices from the skillet and set aside. Done when browned and opaque, 145°F.
Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Uncover for the last 30 seconds of cooking to allow any remaining water to evaporate. Done when bright green and tender-crisp.
Push the broccoli to the sides of the skillet. Add the remaining ginger and garlic to the center and stir for 20 seconds until fragrant. Return the beef to the pan. Re-whisk the sauce and pour it over the beef and broccoli. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and glazes the components. Season with the remaining salt to taste.
