Meat board turned out dish (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dreamboat

'dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meat board turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' indicates an anagram (turn out can mean to organise).
'meat'+'board'='meatboard'
'meatboard' is an anagram of 'DREAMBOAT'.

(Other definitions for dreamboat that I've seen before include "Ideal romantic partner" , "Attractive person" , "Dishy fellow" , "Stunner (for drifting off in?)" , "highly desirable figure?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
