Brings up Babe, the last flick getting a meaty grilling! (5)

I believe the answer is:

kebab

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

'a meaty grilling' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'brings up babe the last flick' is the wordplay.
'brings up' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'bring up' mean this).
'the last' indicates one should take the final letters (I've seen 'the last of' mean this).
The last letter of 'flick' is 'k'.
'babe'+'k'='babek'
'babek' back-to-front is 'KEBAB'.

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Pieces of meat, vegetables etc cooked on skewer" , "Meat and/or vegetables cooked on skewer" , "Cubes of meat on a skewer" , "spiked food" , "Small pieces of meat and veg cooked on a skewer" .)
