Steatosis would be my guess and I only know of that from the much more knowledgeable folks in this sub.

My guess would be what part of the cow it was cut from

I would honestly bring that back to the grocery store. They should not have sold it to you. It’s like the last cut of the New York strip and it’s definitely got some of this stenosis.

Could be steatosis like others have said. But that part of the ny strip has 2 muscles. The farther down the short loin you go the bigger the muscle on the left will be.

Not steatosis. It’s the last strip before it turns into the sirloin. I actually wouldn’t even sell that as a strip steak. Anyways, at this point it is composed of two different muscles. The muscle at the bottom which is well marbled is the end of the longissimus muscle, that is the muscle that a normal strip is wholly comprised of. The top leaner muscle is the beginning of the top sirloin muscle, also known as the pichana or the culotte.
