Sometimes, when I'm eating red meat, especially roast beef, I notice that there are shiny spots (rainbowish, like a fish scale's colors) on it. It's only viewable from a certain angle, and I've seen it multiple times in different places. What is it, and is it normal? Or am I just too paranoid about my food? :p

its called silver skin, its found on a lot of meats, its completly normal but a bit chewy. there is no harm in eating it. its there to conect the fat of the meat to the muscle when the animal was alive

Those are just fatty deposits and are harmless. Pretty, but harmless.
