Cut of meat from China to be cooked (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aitchbone

'cut of meat' is the definition.
(aitchbone is a kind of cut of meat)

'china to be cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'china'+'to'+'be'='chinatobe'
'chinatobe' with letters rearranged gives 'AITCHBONE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aitchbone that I've seen before include "Cut of meat" , "cut of beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
