They get killed and butchered.
Cows rarely become steaks, normally young steers and heifers become steaks, depending on age and weight these animals may go to a wheat field in Kansas or a grass pasture in Texas. After a few months and a few trips across country these animals then may go to a feedlot. After the animal reaches a certain weight these animals then go to slaughter house after which they become steaks.

It is the act of slaughter and processing that produces the various cuts of meat, including steak.
Cattle are taken alive to processing plants where they are stunned using a captured bolt gun and killed with a knife using technique called a carotid stick (there may be other techniques in use at some facilities). The animals are then processed to the point where only the skeleton and musculature is remains (head, hide, lower legs, lungs, heart and intestines are removed) and the carcass is placed in a cooler. There are several methods of aging but the carcass is not turned into the
various "cuts" (roasts, steaks, hamburger etc.) until aging is complete. Some processing plants do not do finish cutting so the carcass (usually cut in half along the length of the spine or quartered) is transported to another facility (sometimes even overseas) where it is cut and packaged for final sale.
Most steaks come from the along the spine of the carcass.
