Recipes with meat in a stew, tour de force (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

masterpiece

'tour de force' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recipes with meat in a stew' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'in a stew' is an anagram indicator.
'recipes' put after 'meat' is 'meatrecipes'.
'meatrecipes' with letters rearranged gives 'MASTERPIECE'.

(Other definitions for masterpiece that I've seen before include "tour de force" , "Work of outstanding artistry" , "Outstanding artwork" , "Great work" , "Work of extreme skill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
