Gentleman left ring burning for some meat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sirloin

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

'some meat' is the definition.
(sirloin is a kind of meat)

'gentleman left ring burning' is the wordplay.
'gentleman' becomes 'sir' (a man may be addressed as sir).
'left ring burning' becomes 'loin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sir'+'loin'='SIRLOIN'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sirloin that I've seen before include "Good cut of beef" , "(Knighted?) cut of meat" , "Type of steak" , "Quality cut of beef loin" , "Upper part of loin of beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
