Bake ground British meat served on skewer (5)

I believe the answer is:

kebab

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

'skewer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bake ground british' is the wordplay.
'ground' indicates anagramming the letters ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'bake' is an anagram of 'keba'.
'keba'+'b'='KEBAB'

'meat served on' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Small pieces of meat and veg cooked on a skewer" , "spiked food" , "Grilled or roasted dish; b-bake (anag.)" , "Meat preparation" , "what one may spit" .)
