Beef lovers in Phoenix are feeling the pinch as steak and ground beef prices skyrocket, hitting levels not seen in decades. Local butcher shops like Hobe Meats are seeing the sharpest increases in premium cuts like ribeye and tenderloin, but even ground beef is up over 10% in just a year. It’s not just inflation—drought and shrinking cattle herds have led to the lowest beef supply since the 1950s. Some butchers are getting creative, offering lesser-known cuts like hanger and flat iron steaks to help customers save. How are these rising prices changing your dinner plans? #Business #Industry #PhoenixEats
