I resented being forced to beat meat (9)

I believe the answer is:

tenderise

'to beat meat' is the definition.

'i resented being forced' is the wordplay.
'being forced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'resented'='iresented'
'iresented' anagrammed gives 'TENDERISE'.

(Other definitions for tenderise that I've seen before include "pound" , "soften flesh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
