It is possible that it may be 'Selph's Mahogany' but it is hard to tell at this stage. Typically Selph is a more erect rhizome whereas beefsteak is a horizontal or creeping rhizome. Selph has larger thicker leaves than beefsteak too. Selph has a rougher feel to the leaf surface where beefsteak is quite smooth. Beefsteak has rounder leaf edge where Selph can be notched. It looks like your rhizome is more erect than sprawling so it may be Selph or something else entirely.
