I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a cut of beef' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'doctor wood supports a craving' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'bones' (bones can informally mean a doctor) and 'bones' is found within the answer.
'wood' could be 'teak' (type of timber) and 'teak' is located in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'craving' could be 'itch' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'itch' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.
