"Beef" 是一个多义词，其核心含义指牛科动物的肉，但在不同语境中存在扩展用法。作为名词时，它主要指供食用的牛肉，例如烤牛肉（roast beef）是西餐常见菜肴。在非正式口语中，"beef" 可表示"抱怨"或"牢骚"，如"他总对工作有意见"（He always has a beef about his job）。作为动词时，"beef up" 指加强或充实，如公司通过增聘人员强化团队（The company beefed up the team by hiring more staff）。
词源学显示该词源自12世纪的古法语"boef"，可追溯至拉丁语"bos, bovis"（牛）。在俚语中，该词还衍生出"肌肉发达"的引申义，常见于健身领域，如健美运动员常被形容为"beefy"。美国文化中的经典广告语"Where’s the beef?"（源自1984年温蒂汉堡广告）已成为质疑事物核心价值的流行语。
