In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and two thirds of the water until the starch is dissolved. Season the beef with the salt and pepper.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Once the pan is very hot, add the beef in a single layer and sear for 1 minute without moving. Flip and cook for 30 seconds more until just browned. Remove the beef and its juices to a plate.
Add the remaining oil and the broccoli to the same pan and stir for 1 minute. Pour in the remaining water, cover immediately, and steam for 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Uncover and cook for 1 minute more until the water evaporates.
Push the broccoli to the side. Add the garlic and ginger to the empty space and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the beef and its juices to the pan and pour in the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats everything. Garnish with sesame seeds. Done when opaque in the center, 145°F.
