South African treatment of barbecued meat? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sausage

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

'barbecued meat?' is the definition.
'sausage' can be an answer for 'meat?' (sausage meat is a kind of meat). I'm not certain of the 'barbecued' bit.

'south african treatment' is the wordplay.
'south african' becomes 'SA' (abbreviation).
'treatment' becomes 'usage' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sa'+'usage'='SAUSAGE'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sausage that I've seen before include "Not a - means nothing" , "Banger; snag" , "Minced meat product" , "Bologna, Cumberland or Toulouse, for example" , "Tube-shaped food item" .)
