Gateau served with red meat in hunks (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beefcake

'hunks' is the definition.
(beefcake can mean attractive men)

'gateau served with red meat' is the wordplay.
'gateau' becomes 'cake' (I've seen this before).
'served with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'red meat' becomes 'beef'.
'cake' after 'beef' is 'BEEFCAKE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for beefcake that I've seen before include "Hunk" , "Displayed male muscles" , "Photograph of a muscular man in minimal attire" , "Attractive muscular men" , "Men displaying muscles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
