I think beef consumption is more tied to economic/geographic/cultural/accessibility issues than anything.  We regularly had steak when I was a kid, and that was because we always had a deep freezer full of different cuts from one of our yearly 4-H beef cattle projects. I also worked for a butcher shop when I was in college so have seen the beef industry from end to end.  There was a time when I was a young adult where I was so sick of beef that I went mostly vegetarian. That lasted about 5 years and every time I went home my dad had a fit.  :lol:

These days, we probably have rib eyes/strips/T-bones or a filet about once a week and I have our local butcher cut the hanging tender for me for Xmas dinner (only one of those cuts per cow and it's incredible if cooked right).  Now, I love a nice medium rare steak that cuts like butter. [/quote]
