"Beef" 是一個多義詞，其核心含義指牛科動物的肉，但在不同語境中存在擴展用法。作為名詞時，它主要指供食用的牛肉，例如烤牛肉（roast beef）是西餐常見菜肴。在非正式口語中，"beef" 可表示"抱怨"或"牢騷"，如"他總對工作有意見"（He always has a beef about his job）。作為動詞時，"beef up" 指加強或充實，如公司通過增聘人員強化團隊（The company beefed up the team by hiring more staff）。
詞源學顯示該詞源自12世紀的古法語"boef"，可追溯至拉丁語"bos, bovis"（牛）。在俚語中，該詞還衍生出"肌肉發達"的引申義，常見于健身領域，如健美運動員常被形容為"beefy"。美國文化中的經典廣告語"Where’s the beef?"（源自1984年溫蒂漢堡廣告）已成為質疑事物核心價值的流行語。
