Stuff it into bread for a hearty breakfast. Pile it over rice for a satisfying dinner. It’s a small joy in simple living—and one of my favorite High Protein Recipes for busy weeknights.

Let’s cook this High Protein Recipes favorite. 
How to Make Mushroom Beef Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 150g beef slices (beef short plate or tenderloin)
- 100g button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 pasteurized eggs (safe for runny yolks)
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1/3 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for color)
- 1/6 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil (for marinating)
- 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil (for frying)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chopped scallions for garnish
For the Egg Mixture:
- 1 tablespoon starch water (1 part cornstarch + 2 parts water)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, combine the beef slices with oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well until every piece is coated. Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil and mix again. Let marinate for 15 minutes. The oil helps prevent sticking during frying and locks in moisture.
Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
In a separate bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add the starch water and salt. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. The starch water creates a softer, more silky texture.
Step 3: Cook the Beef
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add the marinated beef slices in a single layer. Cook until the beef changes color and is about 80% done—about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside. Do not overcook; the beef will finish cooking later.
Step 4: Cook the Mushrooms
In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 1 minute until they soften and release their earthy aroma.
Step 5: Combine and Add Eggs
Return the beef to the pan with the mushrooms. Spread everything evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
Step 6: The Gentle Push
Here’s the technique: do not stir immediately. Let the eggs sit for a few seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center. Tilt the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the hot surface. Repeat until the eggs are mostly set but still look soft and glossy. Remove from heat while they’re still slightly underdone—residual heat will finish cooking them to perfection.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle with chopped scallions. Serve immediately over rice, tucked into toast, or on its own.
