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 grill)

'one way or another bringing in ramsay initially' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'way' becomes 'L' (abbreviation for left).
'another' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bringing in' is an insertion indicator.
'ramsay initially' becomes 'b' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'l'+'or'='ilor'
'ilor' anagrammed gives 'roil'.
'roil' going around 'b' 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)" .)
