In a small saucepan, combine the rice and half the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, whisk together the remaining water, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Heat half the canola oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan. Done when browned and opaque, 145°F.
Add the remaining canola oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until bright green. Remove the lid, let the water evaporate, then add the garlic and ginger, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Give the sauce a quick whisk and pour it into the skillet. Return the beef and any juices to the pan. Toss everything together and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce is glossy and thick. Drizzle with the sesame oil.
Fluff the rice with a fork and spoon it onto a plate. Top with the beef and broccoli mixture and the sauce from the pan.
