Cut in dole with rent going crazy (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenderloin

'cut' is the definition.
(I know that tenderloin is a type of fillet)

'in dole with rent going crazy' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'going crazy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'dole'+'rent'='indolerent'
'indolerent' is an anagram of 'TENDERLOIN'.

(Other definitions for tenderloin that I've seen before include "seedy area of New York" , "soft meat" , "Prime cut of pork, etc" , "high crime rate here" , "Joint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
