If you listen to the individual word, it does sound like a /d/. If you listen to the whole phrase it's /δ/

I thought μοσχάρι is veal (meat from a calf; i.e. cattle (bos taurus) less than about one year old), while βοδινό is beef (meat from cattle more than about one year old). Is that right?
"A steak" is a particular cut of meat. In fact, there are various kind of steak: https://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/edible-innovations/steak2.htm#:~:text=Round%20steakBut there can be other parts of beef with other names.

So, when we refer to "beef" we mean meat from a cow that is about over 8 months old, before that it is called "veal" and the animal is called a "calf'.
