Cook one way or another, bringing in Ramsay initially (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

broil

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

'cook' is the definition.
(I know that broil is a more specific form of the action grill)

'one way or another bringing in ramsay initially' is the wordplay.
'one way or another' becomes 'boil' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bringing in' is an insertion indicator.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'ramsay' is 'r'.
'boil' placed around 'r' is 'BROIL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broil that I've seen before include "overheat?" , "cook?" , "Maybe grill" , "stew" , "Become very hot (in sun)" .)
