'medium hot sauce stewing dressing for chops' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'medium hot sauce stewing' is the wordplay.
'medium' becomes 'm' (as in UK clothing sizes).
'stewing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hot'+'sauce'='hotsauce'
'hotsauce' with letters rearranged gives 'oustache'.
'm'+'oustache'='MOUSTACHE'
