Cut journey and nosed about (9)
I believe the answer is:
tournedos
'cut' is the definition.
(tournedos is a kind of cut)
'journey and nosed about' is the wordplay.
'journey' becomes 'tour' (touring is a kind of journeying).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'nosed' with letters rearranged gives 'nedos'.
'tour'+'nedos'='TOURNEDOS'
(Other definitions for tournedos that I've seen before include "Small round thick beef fillet" , "Pieces of beef" , "Steak" , "Thick slice" , "Steaks" .)
