Throw buns and meat, throwing out starters (6)

I believe the answer is:

unseat

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

'throw' is the definition.
(to unseat is to throw out or oust)

'buns and meat throwing out starters' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'buns' could be 'seat' (synonyms) and 'seat' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'u' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unseat that I've seen before include "Remove from horse (or house?)" , "Remove from power" , "Cause to fall from the saddle" , "Get out of office" , "Dislodge from saddle" .)
