I believe the answer is:

steak diane

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

'dish with a sauce that was sometimes flambeed at the tableside' is the definition.
'steak diane' can be an answer for 'dish' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.

'retro meat' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'meat' could be 'steak' (steak is a kind of meat) and 'steak' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'diane' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for steak diane that I've seen is " Dish".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
