Surface Forms

beating his meat infinitive

Morphology

beating + his + meat

This is vulgar slang that uses a metaphorical mapping (where 'meat' stands for male genitalia and 'beating' for rhythmic self-stimulation) rather than the literal senses of the words. The overall meaning 'to masturbate' cannot be predicted from the constituent meanings by an average B1 learner, so the expression is idiomatic and language-specific.

Etymology

Beating his meat may come from the crude image of beating a piece of meat with your hand, like when you hit meat to make it softer. That rough hand motion became a slang picture for 'to masturbate', so the phrase now means that.
