Low steak prices are mostly because of Fathers Day and they are loss leaders for the week.
Similar price cuts always happen before a big holiday weekend. Prices for turkey, ham, a rack of ribeyes go down during the week before Thanksgiving and the week before Christmas. Likewise you can get great buys on steaks, ground beef, hot dogs and picnic snacks just prior to Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Same thing with seasonal produce during the same weeks.
