Marbling is so named because the streaks of fat resemble a marble pattern.
If marbling enhances juici ness by serving as a lubricant around muscle bundles then it should be uniformly and finely dispersed throughout the lean.
As meat is cooked to more advanced degrees of doneness the tougher it will get.

Marble score or grades are a component of the aus meat beef quality grading system and is assessed within the ribeye muscle.
In addition to the quantity of marbling the distribution and texture of visible fat flecks within the ribeye are also considered during assessment of marbling score.
Marbling helps to insure acceptable tenderness at higher levels of doneness.
Overcooking is marbling s worst nightmare since it renders all the fat out of the meat leaving behind a dry and tough steak without the moist flavors we know and love.
