Meat dish recipe in this wise, possibly (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irish stew

'meat dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recipe in this wise possibly' is the wordplay.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'this'+'wise'='thiswise'
'thiswise' with letters rearranged gives 'iishstew'.
'r' going into 'iishstew' is 'IRISH STEW'.

(Other definitions for irish stew that I've seen before include "Traditional simmered dish of mutton, potato and onions" , "Dish of meat, onions, potatoes etc" , "Mutton/onion/potato dish" , "National dish, boiled mutton, spuds and onions" , "National dish of potatoes, mutton and onions simmered in water" .)
