Urge beast to cook plant (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sugar beet

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'urge beast to cook' is the wordplay.
'to cook' is an anagram indicator.
'urge'+'beast'='urgebeast'
'urgebeast' is an anagram of 'SUGAR-BEET'.

(Other definitions for sugar beet that I've seen before include "foodstuff" , "It produces sweetener" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
