I believe the answer is:

keats

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

'sheer poetry' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'his minced steak' is the wordplay.
'steak' anagrams to 'KEATS'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keats that I've seen before include "John --, English poet" , "Author of the poem Ode to a Nightingale, d. 1821" , "English poet, 1795-1821" , "Endymion, Lamia poet" , "English poet, d. 1821 in Rome of TB" .)
