Blue as steak from bar area (4)
I believe the answer is:
rare
'blue as steak' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'from bar area' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'RARE' is hidden within 'bar area'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rare that I've seen before include "Not easily come by like undercooked meat" , "Very scarce, hardly cooked" , "Very scarce, like undercooked steak" , "Scarce as hen's teeth!" , "Singular, infrequent" .)
