After game, university student remains for stew (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goulash

'stew' is the definition.
(goulash is a kind of stew)

'after game university student remains' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'game' becomes 'go' (go game is a kind of game).
'university' becomes 'u'.
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'remains' becomes 'ash' (I've seen this before).
'go' put next to 'u' is 'gou'.
'gou'+'l'+'ash'='GOULASH'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for goulash that I've seen before include "deal that nobody likes" , "Paprika-based stew" , "Hungarian meat and vegetable stew, with paprika" , "Rich stew of Hungarian origin" , "Hungarian stew of meat and veg with seasoning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
