The price of steak will go up until demand equals supply.

(And there will be plenty of incentives to come up with cheaper steaks or steak alternatives.)

That's the thing though, this price is going up but is artifically lower than alternatives because external costs (e.g. greenhouse gasses emitted or water used) are not factored in the cost.
Just like you (presumably), I'm all in favour of water markets and emission taxes / cap-and-trade.
