Hey, Bruce, I agree with you! Looks like it was cooked to chewing gum.
As for those fat lines... in nicely marbled not cooked to death meat
they meld into the beef and add flavour. But hey, I don't want to eat
the fat, either. When you slice a piece of nicely (not overcooked) beef
you can easily trim the fat. We're not talking 'Jack Sprat could eat no
fat, his wife could eat no lean' here. ;) You don't have to eat it but
it makes the beef taste so much better.

Depends on the cut of beef. Chuck roast is always well done in my house
but that's simmered, not roasted. Steaks and other cuts (including
pork) are not cooked to well done. Neither is a hamburger.
