If they digest flies, they probably can do bits of beef. However, bef is
much more juicy than flies, and where a fly body might dessicate and allow a
plant to work slowly, the beef, even if a small moresel, might rot before
the digestive (or say absorptive) process can occur. What about pitcher
plants? They have the digestive materials in a liquid phase, and might avoid
the 'rotting' process.
