marbling
Meat's white streaks
Marbling is the pattern of veins or streaks resembling marble, or the process of creating such patterns.
In bookbinding and paper arts, marbling produces swirled decorative designs by floating pigments on liquid.
In meat, marbling refers to the white streaks of fat distributed through muscle tissue: The steak had beautiful marbling.
Well-marbled beef is prized for tenderness and flavor.
