 Proteins are just chained amino acids, so what you're saying doesn't make any sense at all.

There are of course also differences in fatty acids, minerals and vitamins content

 Not all proteins are created equal.

According to DIAAS (“Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score”):

Beef 1.12
Peas 0.65

 Meat has all the amino acids. Peas do not. 

You could survive eating only meat. 

If you were to eat only peas, you would absolutely die.
