Large expanse of grassland (7)

I believe the answer is:

prairie

(Other definitions for prairie that I've seen before include "Treeless grassy plain, in the old West perhaps" , "Large grassland region" , "Grasslands" , "Extensive US grassland" , "Open grassland of North America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
