Can do boar stew or beef stew (9)

I believe the answer is:

carbonado

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

'beef stew' is the definition.
'carbonado' can be an answer for 'stew' (historical term for a type of stew). I'm unsure of the 'beef' bit.

'can do boar stew' is the wordplay.
'stew' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'do'+'boar'='candoboar'
'candoboar' anagrammed gives 'CARBONADO'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carbonado that I've seen before include "Beef stew; black diamond" , "Dark diamond used in industry for drilling and polishing" , "Meat grilled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
