cow meat
Steak and hamburger
Cow meat is beef—the flesh of cattle used as food.
The phrase appears when speakers want to be explicit about the animal source, often in contexts where beef sounds too processed or euphemistic: I don't eat cow meat for religious reasons.
Children and non-native English speakers may use it before learning the conventional term.
