2. Prepare the Mushrooms:
   Take the oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus), separate them from their cluster, and gently brush off any dirt. In a skillet, heat 50g of olive oil over medium heat and sauté a garlic clove until golden. Remove the garlic from the pan, and add the pioppini, champignon, and oyster mushrooms. Sprinkle in the thyme leaves and stir-fry the mushrooms until they are soft and golden brown.

3. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
   Once the potatoes are peeled, mash them using a potato masher. Add salt, pepper, and gradually incorporate the warm milk, stirring until you achieve a creamy consistency. Set the mashed potatoes aside.

4. Prepare the Beef Cutlets:
   Gently pound the beef cutlets using a meat mallet to make them thinner. Lightly coat each cutlet in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.

5. Cook the Beef:
   In a separate large skillet, heat 30g of butter and 10g of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the beef cutlets and cook until they are golden and cooked through. Once done, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

6. Combine Beef with Mushrooms:
   Add the cooked mushrooms to the same skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and let the flavors combine for a minute or two. Return the beef cutlets to the pan, tossing them gently with the mushrooms, ensuring everything is heated through.

7. Serve:
   Plate the beef scaloppine with the mushroom mixture on top. Accompany the dish with a quenelle (a smooth scoop) of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for an extra burst of color and flavor.
