Accepts minced steak (5)

I believe the answer is:

takes

'accepts' is the definition.
(taking is a kind of accepting)

'minced steak' is the wordplay.
'minced' is an anagram indicator.
'steak' anagrammed gives 'TAKES'.

(Other definitions for takes that I've seen before include "Steals" , "Removes" , "Steak (anag.)" , "Filmed scenes" , "Seizes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
