After a long busy day, I love to whip up this delicious quick beef fried rice and pour myself a glass of wine. The perfect way to unwind after a crazy hectic day.
Sometimes whenever I’m feeling crazy stressed or it’s just been a long day; cooking helps me to relieve some of that tension and relax. Of course I’m not cooking anything elaborate; that would be way to taxing. That’s why I love to whip up this beef fried rice. With juicy pieces of beef, scrambled eggs, and seasoned veggies this dish is quick to make and totally delicious. What makes it even better is that I love to enjoy it with a glass of wine. I’ll open up a bottle just before I start cooking, and enjoy a glass of wine through the whole process. Who am I kidding? I’m halfway through the bottle by the time the fried rice is done.
By now you guys are no strangers to my love for Grocery Outlet and their wine sale where you can get 20% off their wines. If you are new, hello and welcome :), this is one of my favorite wine sales. I love stocking up on wines during this sale because they always have a delicious variety of reds and whites. I usually get about 8 or 9 bottles for around $25! Now that’s a deal! Check out the sale here and also grab a $3 coupon while you’re at it.
I paired a red wine to go with these beef fried rice and it was perfect. Cooking this fried rice is super easy. I used a packet of frozen stir fry veggies for my veggies, onions, garlic, and some sirloin that I cut into strips. If you have day old white rice this is perfect. Literally makes cooking this fried rice amazingly easy.
Pairing this with a glass of red wine is the perfect way for me to de-stress. The taste is super satisfying, and I love that I get to have a home cooked meal that took such little effort. Check out the recipe below.
