Dish of beaten frogs awful, female admitted (4,10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beef stroganoff

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

'of beaten frogs awful female admitted' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'admitted' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters get admitted).
'of'+'beaten'+'frogs'='ofbeatenfrogs'
'ofbeatenfrogs' is an anagram of 'beefstroganof'.
'beefstroganof' going around 'f' is 'BEEF STROGANOFF'.

(Other definitions for beef stroganoff that I've seen before include "Dish with sour cream sauce" , "Meat dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
