Tender cut of meat (4)
I believe the answer is:
loin
'tender cut of meat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for loin that I've seen before include "Joint of meat" , "Meat between the ribs and rump of an animal" , "Cut of meat from between rib and haunch" , "flesh!" , "Choice cut of meat" .)
