French construction line pocketing one juicy cut (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chateaubriand

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

'cut' is the definition.
(I know that Chateaubriand is a type of fillet)

'french construction line pocketing one juicy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'construction' could be 'chateau' (chateau is a kind of construction) and 'chateau' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chateaubriand that I've seen before include "diplomat" , "French writer" , "French author" , "Fr. writer; fillet steak" , "cut" .)
