Being an ardent vegetarian, I have no idea what this would be called on a BE menu.
"Mountain/Alpine ox" or rather "steer" than ox? and is the meat then called ox/steer meat or ox/steer beef??
Grateful for some "carnivorous" help... ;-)

Tyrolean "Grauvieh" beef


Explanation:
I've found a couple of examples of this on various menus:

Another option, less specific, would possibly be to simply call it "Alpine beef".

Alp ox


Explanation:
That's what I'd be tempted to call it.

Neu Wien is a plush new restaurant on the edge of the Innere Stadt's medieval quarter, with the look and feel of a lounge bar (low leather seats, well-stocked bar). The cuisine harks back to the days of the Habsburg empire, with the likes of roasted fillet of zander, fillet of Alp ox, and proper veal Wiener schnitzel filling the menu, but there are a few unusual dishes too, like mushroom Gulasch (goulash).

The Alp ox was tough, so not even the wonderful sweet puree of beans and oranges that came with it could make up for the disappointment.

Alpine pasture beef


Explanation:
This is what I would call it if it's going on a menu. The meat of an ox is beef and an 'Alm' is an Alpine pasture.
