I have 11, 3 week old American Staffy cross Bull Mastiff pups and am wondering if it's OK to give them raw minced beef?

Yes, when they're older. Puppies at this age should have only their mother's milk. When you start weaning them you can use minced raw beef, but you'll have to mince it a lot at first.
By the way- Since you have 11 it just occured to me that you're worried they're not getting enough food and that's why you asked.
You'll need to do supplemental feedings with puppy formula. It does seem like 11 is a lot of puppies and some are not getting their fair share. Only feed the smaller ones. The fatter ones are doing okay fending for themselves.
It's still not a good idea to introduce solid food until 8 weeks.
