Drip hot fat over (5)

I believe the answer is:

baste

(Other definitions for baste that I've seen before include "Moisten (a roast)" , "Pour hot cooking juices over" , "Beat" , "Pour liquid over while cooking" , "During roasting, spoon liquid over" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
