marbled beef
Intramuscular fat throughout
Marbled beef has visible streaks of intramuscular fat running through the lean meat, creating a pattern resembling marble stone.
The fat melts during cooking, producing tender, flavorful results.
Higher marbling grades—like prime or wagyu—command premium prices: The marbled beef practically melted on my tongue.
