First, we have plain rice which looks slightly burnt, should be in the dumpster not on a plate. She couldn't even be bothered to put butter or something on it. A travesty.
Next we have have what I'm assuming is air fried noodles? No flavor added at all, perhaps has some lemon aioli on it. Still bland and unacceptable for consumption. At this point I'd consider a divorce.
Now for what should have been the star of the dish, the beef in what im assuming is in canned mushroom sauce. I'm guessing she boiled the beef with the sauce in a pot. Not a bad idea as long as it was a nice slow cook. Sadly looks like she didn't add anything to the sauce so it's wildly bland and probably tastes watery.
Lastly we have the presentation. You have 2 starches in the same portion size and completely overpowering the beef. I'm guessing she saw something similar on Pinterest and tried her best? Take once of the starches out and put something like cooked cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or some sorta vegetable. Put the damn meat and sauce on top of the remaining starch for fucks sake. There is not enough sauce for both. You can do a heart shape presentation just by edging the damn rice or noodles in the shape of a heart then putting the beef with sauce on top. Look at pic related and realize how easy this would be with that plate shape.
This is a dish any amateur cook can do on their first try and have it be decent. 1 minute rice thats done in 1 fucking minute, do that last so you don't burn it. Canned mushroom sauce, saute some mushrooms in oil, pepper, and salt and mix it in with the sauce to add flavor. Marinate the beef overnight in either a premade marinade or make your own. I personally buy those premixed alcoholic beverages and use those. Toss that beef in with the mushroom sauce and cook slowly on low stirring occasionally on a medium-low setting.
