In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add the 1 minced garlic clove and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the beef, cook for another minute. Remove the cooked beef from the pot and set aside.
