I didn't learn about the marbling until about two months ago. Up to that point, we always bought whatever looked the leanest and had the best red color. But a show I saw on tv said just what you said, that the marbling holds the flavor better, plus they said the marbling will make it more tender as well. I haven't grilled any steaks since watching that show, but next time I get some steaks to slap on the grill I'm gonna try some with the marbling in them and see what happens.
