>You can blame the French for the fuckwitted idea that meat should be lean all the time

Fuck no. Ever read a classic French cookbook? Rich fatty meat dishes everywhere. Those mofos even have special tools for adding fat to meat dishes. Ever heard of a "larding needle" before? If you need instructions on how to use it, check out Escoffier, Larousse, Pepin...Julia Child....

>>inject fat into regular cuts of beef

The marbling is not the only part of the equation, anon. The real key is that the cattle are bred for flavor. That's in stark contrast to the vast majority of the beef industry worldwide where the cattle are bred for fast growth to market weight and maximum possible yield.

Also, the idea of adding fat to lean meat before cooking it already exists. It's called "larding". There are special tools for it, like pic related. It's a special needle for inserting strips of fat into a roast.
