It really isn't complicated.
The problem with importing (say) potatoes from USA is tariff rate quote imposed through the CAP.

The problem with US beef is a combination of tariff rate quota and standards.

If the UK agree a better TRQ situation for the US beef, they can start exporting to the UK IF they can supply to the standards and some farmers may feel it is worthwhile keeping their herd steroid free, and meet any animal welfare standards required in order to access the market.

I've seen that happen in the Far East, where footwear manufacturers improved their technical ability to manufacture, their supply chain management, and their ethical trading policy so that they could supply the European and/or North American markets.

I saw others that were happy to just cart on supplying Africa, the Middle East, India and South America where standards were lower or not policed.
