Feeble meat recipe (4)
I believe the answer is:
tame
'feeble' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'meat recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' is an anagram indicator.
'meat' anagrammed gives 'TAME'.
(Other definitions for tame that I've seen before include "Restrained" , "Domesticated - dull" , "Domesticated, gentle" , "Not wild, unexciting" , "Not exciting; domesticate" .)
