The bean cooked down under? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beneath

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

'down under?' is the definition.
'beneath' can be an answer for 'under?' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'down' bit.

'the bean cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'bean'='thebean'
'thebean' is an anagram of 'BENEATH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beneath that I've seen before include "Unbefitting" , "Directly under" , "in a lower position" , "Inferior to" , "At a lower level (than)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
