Shiner? Beef's applied ... with seasoning (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
fines herbes
'seasoning' is the definition.
'shiner? beef's applied' is the wordplay.
'applied' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shiner'+'beefs'='shinerbeefs'
'shinerbeefs' anagrammed gives 'FINES HERBES'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for fines herbes that I've seen before include "Addition to stews, etc, for flavour" , "Seasoning mixture" , "tasty combo" , "Maybe chopped parsley" .)
