Enjoy this delicious beef and broccoli bowl, which also features fish sauce, rice, watercress, cilantro, and mint, with a squirt of lime juice or a dash of hot sauce as the finishing touch right before serving. Adding water to the skillet while sautéing the broccoli, ginger, and garlic not only helps them cook faster (think high-intensity steaming), but also helps pick up some extra flavor from the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. There is so much flavor from those browned bits that are left by the steak, which should get scraped up to form a delicious sauce that coats the veggies.
