Bake grouse for Sunday dinner maybe (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roast beef

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sunday dinner maybe' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bake grouse' is the wordplay.
'bake' becomes 'roast' (I've seen this before).
'grouse' becomes 'beef' (synonyms).
'roast'+'beef'='ROAST-BEEF'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roast beef that I've seen before include "Joint" , "Traditional English food" , "meat dish" , "Sunday meat?" , "traditional meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
