Feeble meat recipe (4)
I believe the answer is:
tame
'feeble' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'meat recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'meat' is an anagram of 'TAME'.
(Other definitions for tame that I've seen before include "Restrained" , "Domesticated - dull" , "Domesticated, gentle" , "Not wild, unexciting" , "Not exciting; domesticate" .)
