Crossword Genius

Beat and serve out broth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

throb

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

'beat' is the definition.
(throb is a kind of beat)

'serve out broth' is the wordplay.
'broth' anagrams to 'THROB'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for throb that I've seen before include "Drum" , "Pulsate strongly" , "Strong rhythmic beat" , "Beat strongly" , "Palpitate, quiver (with emotion)" .)
