It would be beef. There may not be a cut of this name sold in the US,
but there certainly is in Australia. A Google search will show hundreds
of results with recipes or selling it, like this one (seems it's from
the tenderloin) - http://www.vicsmeat.com.au/facts-and-resources/ask-

I would imagine this is meant to be wholegrain mustard - the sort with
whole seeds through it. I've seen it referred to as seeded mustard.

Again, there may not be a product sold by this name in the US, but there
is in Australia, in the dairy section of pretty much every supermarket.
It's cream which has had gelatine, vegetable gum or other agents added
to it. It's most commonly used for whipping.

I don't know what is commonly served as pepper steak in the US, but in
Australia (where the OP was posting from) if you ask for pepper steak
you're going to get a steak with a creamy pepper sauce as described in
the recipe he posted. Many cafes/bistros etc that serve steak will offer
you a choice of sauces - one of which is always pepper sauce. The
"pepper steak" dish you describe would never be called that here for the
simple fact that what you call bell peppers, we call capsicums.
