common in UK during mid-70s when it was most often applied to rock music, in which context it would also imply "strong" or "powerful"

Barker: "what kind of sounds do you dig, man?
Tender:
"Oh, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Heep .... any hellish beef stuff really"
Barker:

Tender: "Wheyyy.... look at that guy with the hellish beef prime Plant locks over there!"
Barker: "Yeah, he looks beef but he's carrying a helluva tame Cat Stevens album under his arm"
