Takes out small cuts (6)
I believe the answer is:
steaks
'cuts' is the definition.
(steak is a kind of cut)
'takes out small' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size**).
'takes' anagrammed gives 'steak'.
'steak'+'s'='STEAKS'
(Other definitions for steaks that I've seen before include "They can be round, T-bone or fillet" , "Cuts of meat" .)
