No thanks. I'd rather have pure protein.

Almonds can't provide anything like the nutrition that beef can.

Beef is very high in protein and has essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, a vitamin which is essential for human health (absence of which can lead to irreversible neurological damage), and which AFAIK is only naturally found in animal products (meat, dairy, eggs). Some foods, like breakfast cereal, are sometimes fortified with B12 (B12 is artificially added). But the natural source of this vitamin is animal products.

Almonds are 50% fat. Beef, on the other hand, can be very lean. Obviously it depends on the cut, and whether you grind your beef, but a lot of ground beef is typically only 10 - 20% fat.

Beef protein is also considered nutritionally "complete" because it has all 9 essential amino acids that humans need, in good levels. Almonds are not a good source of all 9 essential amino acids, unless you ate an unreasonably large quantity of them.

how to cook a roast?

i do the classic sear it then put it in the oven at 325, it's easy to get it to perfect rareness but it just doesnt seem like it cooked low and slow enough to break up all those tough tendons and whatnot
