精肉 is the formal, retail term for meat sold for consumption, while 肉 is the plain everyday word for meat.
Compound of 精 (refined, pure) and 肉 (meat), literally 'refined meat'. The term likely arose in the context of butchery and meat retail to distinguish prepared cuts from whole carcasses or lower-grade meat.
