Sheep's flesh not being cooked for dog (4)

I believe the answer is:

mutt

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

'for dog' is the definition.
(mutt is a kind of dog)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mutt that I've seen before include "Mongrel - fool" , "Thematic type [DOG]" , "Dog of mixed breed" , "far from best in show?" , "Chump" .)
