It depends on whether you are feeding them to finish them or backgrounding them. It also depends on your location and what feeds you have available in your area that may be the cheapest for you to purchase. It also depends on whether you want to finish these animals conventionally on a high-concentrate diet (if finishing is the purpose), or if you have access to pasture to graze them on. If you have access to pasture, that is always the most economical solution to feeding a group of beef steers. Otherwise, the rest is up to you especially with the insufficient details that has come with this question.

What is the best feed to give to beef cattle?
WHAT beef cattle?? I mean, what type of beef cattle are you referring to? Dry pregnant cows? Bred heifers? Weaned heifers? Dry open cows? Lactating cows? Mature bulls? Young, growing bulls? Weaned steers? Stocker steers/heifers? Backgrounding steers/heifers? Finisher steers? Finisher heifers? What breed are they? Are you on a grass-fed only operation or a mixed operation or an operation where you are having your cattle in a drylot 24/7/365? PLEASE be more specific, because the possibilities are endless. Oh, and what about your location? The different feeds that are available for one location is different for another. You can feed your cattle a variety of feeds from range cubes/pellets to rolled oats, cracked corn, wheat, barley, triticale, etc., or even grass, hay and/or silage (barley, oats, grass-mix, corn). There is NO best feed to feed beef cattle, especially when you haven't defined WHAT TYPE of beef cattle you are referring to! Some operations may prefer to have their animals on grass only, with a little treat of alfalfa or range cubes to keep them friendly and to get them to move from one pasture another. Other operations are in a winter where they need to feed hay (grass only, grass-legume mix or pure legume) and/or silage, and choose to or not to feed a little grain once a day or every second day. Other operations require their cattle (NO MATTER what type) in a drylot for 24/7/365 and need to feed them a whole mix of feeds, from a grain mixture to hay and silage. Please talk with local farmers and ranchers and visit your local county extension agent to see what your options are for the "best feeds" to feed your beef cattle.
