Method

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, ginger, sriracha, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Transfer half (about 1/3 cup) to a small bowl and whisk in remaining teaspoon cornstarch and 1/3 cup water; set aside.
2. Add steak to remaining sauce, toss to coat and let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet on medium. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Add broccoli and cook, covered until bright green and just barely tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
4. Wipe out skillet and heat oil on medium-high. Cook steak in a single layer in batches until browned, 2 minutes per side. Return first batch of steak to skillet, add sauce and simmer until beginning to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli and toss to combine.
5. Serve over rice sprinkled with scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
