Add oil and swirl it around to coat the wok. Add garlic cloves; turn and toss until light brown in color. Add beef and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until brown. add Chinese vinegar and stir continuously until reduced by half. 3- Season with salt, sugar, and soy sauces. Pour in stock or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a moderate simmer. Continue to cook, covered, for 30 minutes or until the beef is tender and the garlic is very soft. (At this point, the garlic should almost be melting into the sauce). 4- When the sauce has reduced by half, add dissolved cornstarch to slightly thicken the sauce.
