I suspect there to be feedback sensors within the mouth and throat that immediately signal to the rest of the body how to respond to the type of food ingested. I’ve never looked into this, but even when we think about food sensation, reward, and dopamine, it’d make sense that what the mouth perceives signals the body to respond in a certain way. Perhaps the physical properties of the beef itself send signals from the mouth to the rest of the body to begin increasing temperature for metabolic preparation of the beef nutrition.
However you mention the response to come a few minutes after the first bite, so it probably is when the fat is digested and converted into energy. I know that when a meal sits heavy in my stomach, I’ll be cold and slowly warm up as the food continues to be digested over the course of the hour.
