As a type 1 diabetic, I can tell you beef does not spike blood glucose and resulting insulin response just as much as rice as does. Protein usually takes about half the dosage for the same amount of grams (ie 10g of carbs / 5g of protein), and it does it more slowly. For many type 1 diabetics on non low-carb diets, protein is eaten in small enough amounts with large enough amounts of carbs that you usually don't factor it into your dosage.

Your point is valid, I should have specified "in most healthy individuals".
