Smoked beef (8)
I believe the answer is:
pastrami
'smoked beef' is the definition.
(type of smoked meat)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for pastrami that I've seen before include "Highly seasoned cut of smoked beef" , "Spiced smoked beef" , "Spicy smoked beef" , "Tapered tuck; missile" , "Seasoned dish" .)
