Festival involving a steer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

easter

'festival' is the definition.
(Christian festival)

'involving a steer' is the wordplay.
'involving' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'steer'='asteer'
'asteer' is an anagram of 'EASTER'.

(Other definitions for easter that I've seen before include "Card, egg or Island" , "Parade; egg; lily" , "A terse sort of Spring festival?" , "Teaser (anag.)" , "Christian feast of the Resurrection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
