'beefy bighead on strike possibly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bighead on strike possibly' is the wordplay.
'bighead' becomes 'b' (the head letter of 'big').
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'strike' with letters rearranged gives 'risket'.
'b' put inside 'risket' is 'BRISKET'.
