$20 for a steak, maybe. I would argue that $50 or even $100+ for a steak has far more to do with the scarcity (fillet mignon is, after all, a very small part of the animal) and definitely the status involved. Also, bison absolutely cost more per pound than beef. Beef sells because it's cheap, not because it's expensive.
