Shop rump steak badly stuffed by English, right? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supermarket

'shop' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rump steak badly stuffed by english right?' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'stuffed by' indicates putting letters inside (stuff can mean to fill or insert into).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'rump'+'steak'='rumpsteak'
'rumpsteak' with letters rearranged gives 'supmarket'.
'e'+'r'='er'
'supmarket' going around 'er' is 'SUPERMARKET'.

(Other definitions for supermarket that I've seen before include "Grocery store" , "Large retail outlet" , "Large shop" , "Large store selling food and household supplies" .)
