Morphology
The meaning 'a piece of meat that contains a high proportion of fat' is directly and transparently composed from 'fatty' (high fat content) modifying 'cut of meat' (a portion or slice of meat). This simple adjectival modification follows common noun phrase composition and is cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun fatty cut of meat began as a plain butcher's label for a fatty cut of meat that shows white streaks of fat through the flesh. So the phrase means 'a piece of meat that contains a high proportion of fat' because you can see the fat in the piece.
