I believe the answer is:

butcher

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

'cut meat' is the definition.
'butcher' can be an answer for 'cut' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'meat' bit.

'but an actress' is the wordplay.
'an actress' becomes 'cher' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'but'+'cher'='BUTCHER'

'can' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for butcher that I've seen before include "more manly" , "Purveyor of meats" , "In EastEnders, Pat maybe" , "One sells meat" , "Killer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
