Brief tease of a beef cut (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
short rib
'a beef cut' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'brief tease' is the wordplay.
'brief' becomes 'short' (similar in meaning).
'tease' becomes 'rib' (I've seen this before).
'short'+'rib'='SHORT-RIB'
'of' is the link.
