Put up with one hammering meat (7-7)
I believe the answer is:
quarter-pounder
'meat' is the definition.
(beefburger weighing a quarter of a pound)
'put up with one hammering' is the wordplay.
'put up' becomes 'quarter' (both can mean to accommodate someone).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'one hammering' becomes 'pounder' (someone pounding or hammering).
'quarter'+'pounder'='QUARTER-POUNDER'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
