Side of meat cut for baked dish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flan

'baked dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'side of meat cut' is the wordplay.
'side of meat' becomes 'flank'.
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'flank' with its final letter removed is 'FLAN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for flan that I've seen before include "Sweet/savoury open tart" , "Open pastry dish" , "Open-topped tart" , "it may get jammed" , "Open-topped pastry dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
