Takes out some meat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steak

'some meat' is the definition.
(steak is a kind of meat)

'takes out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'takes' is an anagram of 'STEAK'.

(Other definitions for steak that I've seen before include "Fleshy piece of meat" , "High quality beef" , "Getting cut" , "Good beef" , "Thick slice of meat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
