I run into lions scrambling for meat (7)
I believe the answer is:
sirloin
'meat' is the definition.
(sirloin is a kind of meat)
'i run into lions scrambling' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'scrambling' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'r'='ir'
'lions' anagrammed gives 'sloin'.
'ir' inserted into 'sloin' is 'SIRLOIN'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for sirloin that I've seen before include "Good cut of beef" , "Prime cut of beef" , "Joint of beef" , "Upper part of loin of beef" , "(Knighted?) cut of meat" .)
