How to cook minced meats? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steam

'how to cook' is the definition.
(I know that steam is a kind of cook)

'minced meats?' is the wordplay.
'minced' indicates an anagram.
'meats' anagrammed gives 'STEAM'.

(Other definitions for steam that I've seen before include "Water vapour; impetus" , "Source of energy" , "Vaporous exhalation" , "letter opener?" , "A lot of hot air" .)
