I believe the answer is:

bear in mind

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

'remember' is the definition.
(to bear something in mind is to remember it)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for bear in mind that I've seen before include "what big game hunter may have" , "Take into consideration" , "Remember and take into account" , "Consider" .)

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