cow meat
Explanation:
The best term is extremely dependent on the context - and Asker has provided none whatsoever.

In some regulatory contexts (the EU, to mention just one...), terms such as pig meat, cow meat, etc. are used to avoid the generalisations that occur in layman's language such as 'beef'.

Beef comes, in principle, from 'beef cattle' - i.e. breeds developed and raised specifically for meat production. In the absence of restrictive context, 'carne vacuna' may include meat from milk-cows, calves, etc. and may cover a wider range of cuts.

To illustrate this point further, 'veal' is not 'beef' - but both are 'carne vacuna'.

disagree  mediamatrix: But surely 'carne vacuno' includes veal, which some people buy in preference to beef. All beef is 'carne vacuno' - but all 'carne vacuno' is not beef.
