https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/ take a browse through this website, its probably the most trustworthy source of nutrition info.
Some highlights:
Protein per 100g
Ground Beef: ~18
Beef (Steak): ~22
Chicken breast: ~15g
Tofu: ~17
Peanuts: ~ 28
Cashews: ~17
Almonds: ~21
Bean corner, all listed raw and dry, when cooked mass increases by 2-2.5x so protein content will half or a bit more, 100g of dry beans soaked and cooked is ~the contents of 1 can(? i think):
Soybeans: ~37 (waow, also crazy high on iron, best macro balance of any food? 37 protein, 20 fat, 30 carbs)
Chickpeas(Garbonzo beans): ~20
Navy Beans: ~22
Black beans: ~22
Red kidney beans: ~23
Red lentils: ~24

    They're also one of a handful of plant-based complete protein sources. Quinoa is another one and it's also kind of alien.

    I love adding beans wherever I can, such amazing fiber and a great protein boost, with a texture I enjoy. Just an awesome food.
