Meat and chips we hear (5)

I believe the answer is:

steak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'meat' is the definition.
(steak is a kind of meat)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for steak that I've seen before include "Thick slice of meat" , "Meat (rare, medium or well done?)" , "Cut of meat or fish" , "Portion of meat" , "pale by the sound of it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
