Lean meat, oddly enough, for monk in Asia (4)
I believe the answer is:
lama
'monk in asia' is the definition.
'lama' can be an answer for 'monk' (as in the Dalai Lama). I'm not sure about the 'in asia' bit.
'lean meat oddly enough' is the wordplay.
'oddly enough' means one should take alternating letters.
'lean'+'meat'='leanmeat'
The alternate letters of 'leanmeat' are 'LAMA'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lama that I've seen before include "Tibetan spiritual leader" , "Tibetan high priest" , "Dalai . . . ., chief priest and once ruler of Tibet" , "Holy man in Tibet" , "A Buddhist priest in Tibet (4)" .)
