Hearty piece of steak and drinks (8)

I believe the answer is:

cordials

'drinks' is the definition.
(cordial is a kind of drink)

'hearty piece of steak' is the wordplay.
'hearty' becomes 'cordial' (synonyms).
'piece of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'steak' is 's'.
'cordial'+'s'='CORDIALS'

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
