"Pit beef" is beef prepared in a microwave oven. The name, used in Texas, is a throw back to the early days of nuclear weapons production when the Pantex assembly techs would cook their lunches by exposing the meat to the plutonium/uranium pits they were building. The name was transferred over when microwaves became common in the 70s.
