Very few countries allow the import of fresh meat (i.e. not dried), even if it has been frozen. It's just too risky in terms of disease.

USA had a large outbreak of BSE in their beef cattle a few years back and Japan shut their borders to US export beef. They lifted the embargo probably 7-8 years later, but only from export certified abattoirs with USDA certification and the meat went through to wholesalers with MAFF certification. You cannot just bring in random meat that doesn't have the correct certification. You can bring in NZ and OZ beef with export certification. Home cooked meats are an absolute no-no.

US meat is largely available (pork and beef), sure it is a little bit more expensive than it is in the USA but cheaper than the one from OZ or NZ. You won't find those very large steaks you have there but "normal" sizes are available.
It is a little bit odd to bring with you something that is already imported from the US, like bringing with you some pasta or spaghetti when you want to visit Italy...
