Cut red line, not squiggly (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenderloin

'cut' is the definition.
(tenderloin is a kind of cut)

'red line not squiggly' is the wordplay.
'squiggly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red'+'line'+'not'='redlinenot'
'redlinenot' with letters rearranged gives 'TENDERLOIN'.

(Other definitions for tenderloin that I've seen before include "Fine cut of meat" , "soft meat" , "Joint" , "high crime rate here" , "best cut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
