I've never heard "beating" on a new engine recommeded by anyone, but many suggest steady state rpms arent ideal either (like on the freeway). I read putting the engine under 2-3 second short bursts of heavy throttle every few minutes or so during the first 500-600 miles helps seat the piston rings. (After its up to temp of course.) I did ths on my 06 TSX and it was very stingy on oil after the first few hundred break-in miles. (some oil cosumption is normal when a motor is brand new.)
