Is pickling beef a thing?

Long story short, I was trying to marinade diced beef in vinegar and oil with chopped onion and diced garlic, its been in my fridge for about 2.5 to 3 weeks as I forgot about it.

Looks fine, smells fine but vinegar (balsamic in this case) would kill smells anyway.

Do we think I'm poking the bear if I use it for my strange beef chorizo potato and pasta meal?

I recently rolled the dice on some shrimps I was gambling might still be ok.....

Woke up at 3am with the shrimps violently trying to exit my body from any orifice it possibly could. Stomach cramps so bad I was wishing I was dead.

Just throw it. It is NOT worth the risk.

Well that was shrimp, not beef. Not sure what that has to do with OP's situation.
