2) Brown the beef in batches and set aside.
3) On medium heat, add garlic, white part of spring onion, ginger and 5-spice powder and cook until they are fragrant.
4) Pour in Chinese cooking wine and let it bubble for about 1 minute.
5) Add in the beef, sprinkle the flour and stir everything together until the flour dissolves.
6) Pour in the beef stock and soy sauce.
