Meat dish for the best team (7)

I believe the answer is:

topside

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

'meat dish' is the definition.
'topside' can be an answer for 'dish' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'meat' bit.

'best team' is the wordplay.
'best' becomes 'top' (top can mean the very best).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'top'+'side'='TOPSIDE'

'for the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for topside that I've seen before include "Deposit (anag) -- cut of meat" , "Towards ship's upper decks; part of cut of beef" , "Lean cut of beef, no bone" , "Cut of beef from thigh" , "Joint" .)

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