This might be a double definition.

'the opposite' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.

'cheese in a sense' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for beef that I've seen before include "Complaint; strength" , "Complain; meat" , "Argument" , "Small errand" , "nickname of US State" .)
